2U Rack Server With 8 x 3.5-inch Drive Bays

This Dell PowerEdge R730 is a 2U rack-mount server built for data-centre workloads that demand local storage density and dual-socket compute. Two Intel Xeon E5-2643 v3 processors run at 3.4 GHz and are paired with 256 GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory. The chassis supports up to eight 3.5-inch drives served by a PERC H730 SAS RAID controller. Remote management is provided by iDRAC8 Enterprise.

Storage-Focused Deployments Needing Dual-CPU

The system suits database, virtualisation or backup targets that benefit from high core counts and large memory capacity inside a compact 2U form factor. Buyers who need more than 768 GB of RAM, more than two sockets, or GPU-accelerated compute should evaluate alternative platforms. The server ships without drives, so storage capacity and redundancy must be specified separately.

PERC H730 SAS RAID Controller

The integrated PERC H730 controller manages up to eight 3.5-inch SATA or SAS drives in hardware RAID. This single specification defines the maximum drive count, supported protocols and RAID capabilities for the configuration.

Questions about this item

Should I pick the 256 GB DDR4 configuration or expand to the 768 GB maximum?

The system ships with 256 GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory installed and supports up to 768 GB total, so choose the larger capacity only if your workloads need more than the factory amount.

What does the 3.4 GHz clock speed deliver in a dual-socket Xeon server?

Two Xeon E5-2643 v3 processors each run at 3.4 GHz with six cores, giving 12 high-frequency cores for single-threaded and lightly threaded applications.

How does the PERC H730 SAS controller limit drive performance?

The PERC H730 handles SAS and SATA drives through eight 3.5-inch bays, providing hardware RAID with up to 12 Gb/s SAS lanes per port.
