Dell PowerEdge R730 8-Bay Server

The Dell PowerEdge R730 is a 2U rack server with eight 3.5-inch drive bays, dual Intel Xeon E5-2630 v3 processors running at 2.4GHz, and 384GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory. It ships with a PERC H730 SAS RAID controller, dual 495W power supplies, and an iDRAC8 Enterprise licence for remote management. No hard drives are included.

Ideal for virtualisation hosts

This configuration suits buyers who need dense 3.5-inch storage capacity and high memory density in a 2U form factor. It is not for buyers who require more than two sockets, more than 768GB of RAM, or a GPU-ready chassis because the system maxes out at two processors and integrated graphics only.

PERC H730 SAS controller with eight 3.5-inch bays

The storage subsystem centres on a Dell PERC H730 SAS controller that manages up to eight 3.5-inch SATA or SAS drives in the front bays. This single specification determines whether the server can meet your drive-count and RAID-level requirements.

Questions about this item

What hard drives do I need to add so the 8-bay chassis and PERC H730 controller can present storage to the operating system?

The server has eight 3.5-inch bays wired to the PERC H730 SAS controller; populate them with SATA hard drives or SAS drives to create RAID volumes for the OS and data.

Will my existing SATA SSDs work in the drive bays alongside the PERC H730 RAID controller?

Yes, the bays accept SATA SSDs and the PERC H730 manages them in any supported RAID level alongside mechanical drives.

How can I confirm the 384 GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory is recognised and error-free after the first boot?

Open the iDRAC8 Enterprise interface or watch the POST screen; both will display 384 GB installed and report no correctable or uncorrectable memory errors.
