Dell PowerEdge R730 8LFF Server

The Dell PowerEdge R730 is a 2U rack server built for virtualisation and database workloads. Two Xeon E5-2650v4 processors at 2.2GHz deliver 24 cores and 30MB cache. 512GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory supports dense VM consolidation. Eight 3.5-inch bays accept SATA or SAS drives through a PERC H730 RAID controller.

Suited for memory-heavy applications

This configuration fits buyers who need large RAM capacity and flexible 3.5-inch storage in a standard rack. Integrated graphics and the PERC H730 handle boot and RAID duties without extra cards. Buyers who require GPU compute acceleration should look elsewhere because the chassis only supports SATA and SAS interfaces with integrated graphics. Workloads demanding more than 768GB maximum memory or more than two sockets need a different platform.

512GB DDR4 ECC registered memory

The installed 512GB DDR4 ECC registered memory is the decisive specification for sizing this server. It occupies a significant portion of the 768GB maximum capacity, leaving room for future expansion. The dual Xeon E5-2650v4 CPUs provide 12 cores each at 2.2GHz. iDRAC8 Enterprise enables full remote management. Two 495W power supplies deliver redundancy for the 12th generation platform.

Questions about this item

How loud and hot does the R730 run with both Xeon E5-2650v4 CPUs at 2.2GHz under sustained load?

Dual 495 W supplies and eight 3.5-inch drive bays mean the chassis moves a lot of air; expect noticeable fan noise and warm exhaust when all 24 cores are fully loaded for hours.

Which components must I already have to make this server boot and store data?

You need at least one 3.5-inch SATA or SAS drive and an operating system; the PERC H730 controller and drive bays are present but no drives are installed.

Will my existing 3.5-inch SAS drives and legacy PCIe cards work in the R730 alongside the PERC H730?

Yes — the eight 3.5-inch bays accept SAS or SATA drives and the PERC H730 manages them, while standard PCIe slots remain open for older add-in cards.
