Dell PowerEdge R730 8LFF 384GB DDR4
This Dell PowerEdge R730 is a 2U rack server populated with two Xeon E5-2670 v3 processors at 2.3GHz and 384GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory. The 8-bay 3.5-inch chassis uses a PERC H730 SAS controller for SATA drives. Integrated graphics and iDRAC8 Enterprise remote management come standard.
Ideal for memory-heavy virtualization
The twelve-core CPUs and large DDR4 capacity suit environments that run many virtual machines or large in-memory datasets. The eight 3.5-inch bays provide ample room for high-capacity SATA storage arrays. Buyers who need more than two processors, faster flash interfaces, or GPU compute should consider other platforms.
Maximum memory capacity 768GB DDR4
The system board supports up to 768GB of DDR4 across its DIMM slots, so the installed 384GB leaves headroom for future expansion. This ceiling is the key figure when planning memory growth for the dual-socket configuration.

Questions about this item
Does the Dell PowerEdge R730 ship with any drives or rail kit in the box?
The unit includes the 2U chassis with 2x Xeon E5-2670 v3 CPUs, 384GB DDR4 ECC Registered RAM, PERC H730 SAS controller, dual 495W PSUs and iDRAC8 Enterprise; drives and rail kit are not included and must be purchased separately.
Should I choose the 8-bay 3.5" LFF chassis or a smaller drive-count model for maximum local storage?
The 8LFF chassis supports up to eight 3.5" SATA or SAS drives and is the only drive-count option listed for this configuration; select it when you need the highest raw capacity in a 2U form factor.
What does the 384GB DDR4 figure mean for actual workload performance in this server?
With 384GB installed across 24 DIMM slots the system runs at the CPUs' native 2.3GHz memory speed, leaving 384GB headroom to the 768GB maximum for future expansion.
