Dual Xeon E5-2650 v3 server for memory-intensive

The Dell PowerEdge R730 arrives with two 10-core Xeon E5-2650 v3 processors running at 2.3 GHz and 512 GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory. This configuration targets virtualisation hosts, database servers and compute clusters that need high core counts and large memory capacity. The 8-bay 3.5-inch chassis provides room for local storage expansion when drives are added.

Sustained multi-threaded throughput

Each processor contributes 25 MB of last-level cache, helping maintain throughput during prolonged multi-threaded tasks such as hypervisor scheduling or in-memory analytics. The PERC H730 SAS controller manages RAID across SATA drives without a dedicated cache figure supplied, so sustained write rates will depend on the drive set chosen. Dual 495 W power supplies share the load, supporting continuous operation without throttling.

Enterprise cooling and remote management in a 2U

The 2U rackmount chassis uses redundant fans to keep both CPUs and the memory subsystem within thermal limits under full load. Acoustic output is typical for a data-centre rack server and not suited to quiet office environments. iDRAC8 Enterprise provides out-of-band monitoring, power control and virtual console access over the network. The system ships with firmware updated and burn-in tested.

Questions about this item

How much power do the two 495W supplies draw when the dual Xeon E5-2650 v3 CPUs run at 2.3GHz continuously?

Each power supply is rated at 495W; the pair provides redundant 495W capacity for the 10-core processors and 512GB DDR4 memory under sustained load.

Which drive trays and cables must I supply to populate the eight 3.5-inch bays?

The chassis accepts eight 3.5-inch SATA or SAS drives; trays and data cables are not included and must be sourced separately.

Can the PERC H730 RAID controller manage a mixed array of new SAS drives and older SATA disks I already own?

The H730 supports both SAS and SATA interfaces, so legacy SATA disks can join new SAS drives in the same virtual disks.
