8-bay 3.5" rack server for virtualisation clusters

The Dell PowerEdge R730 chassis holds up to eight 3.5-inch drives and ships with dual Xeon E5-2650v4 processors at 2.2 GHz, 12 cores each, plus 256 GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory. A PERC H730 SAS controller manages RAID across the installed bays. Dual 495 W supplies power the 2 U rackmount unit.

Suits teams expanding on-premise compute

Organisations that already own SATA or SAS hard drives can populate the eight hot-swap bays without buying new media. The iDRAC8 Enterprise licence gives full out-of-band control for remote deployments. Buyers who need more than two sockets or faster single-thread performance should look at a different platform.

Dual Xeon E5-2650v4 CPUs set the performance ceiling

Each processor contributes 12 cores and 30 MB cache, giving 24 threads total for hypervisor scheduling. Memory can grow to 768 GB across 24 DIMM slots when workloads demand it. The installed 256 GB baseline covers many consolidation scenarios without immediate upgrades.

Questions about this item

Should I choose the 8-bay 3.5-inch chassis or a smaller drive configuration?

The 8-bay 3.5-inch chassis gives you up to eight large-capacity drives for bulk storage, while the installed PERC H730 controller handles the RAID workload.

What does the 2.2 GHz clock speed mean when both Xeon E5-2650v4 processors are under load?

Each processor runs 12 cores at 2.2 GHz base frequency, delivering 24 threads total for multi-threaded applications and virtualisation hosts.

How does the PERC H730 SAS controller limit the drive types I can install?

The controller supports SAS and SATA drives across the eight 3.5-inch bays, so you can mix high-capacity SATA disks or faster SAS disks as needed.
