Dual Xeon E5-2660 v3 server

The Dell PowerEdge R730 arrives with two 10-core Intel Xeon E5-2660 v3 processors running at 2.6 GHz and 256 GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory. It targets IT teams that need a 2U rack platform for virtualisation, database or compute workloads without purchasing drives upfront.

Eight 3.5-inch bays with PERC H730

The chassis accepts up to eight 3.5-inch SATA or SAS drives connected to the integrated PERC H730 RAID controller. Network connectivity is provided by a dual-port 10 GbE and dual-port 1 GbE Intel card, while remote management uses iDRAC8 Enterprise.

256 GB installed, 768 GB ceiling

Memory starts at 256 GB across the available DIMM slots and can grow to 768 GB when the application demands more headroom. The 495 W redundant power supplies support the dual-processor configuration but leave no capacity for a third CPU socket. Buyers who want more storage bays or GPU acceleration should evaluate larger chassis options.
