Dell PowerEdge R730 8LFF 384GB DDR4

This Dell PowerEdge R730 rack server ships with two Intel Xeon E5-2698 v3 processors running at 2.3 GHz and 384 GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory. The 8 LFF chassis supports up to eight 3.5-inch SATA or SAS drives via the PERC H730 RAID controller. Integrated graphics and dual 495 W power supplies complete the base configuration for immediate deployment.

Suited for virtualisation hosts

The 384 GB DDR4 capacity and sixteen-core-per-socket design serve workloads that demand large memory footprints and high thread counts. It is not for buyers who need more than two processors, GPU compute accelerators, or a single-processor layout. Organisations requiring smaller memory allocations or fewer drive bays should evaluate alternative chassis options.

PERC H730 SAS controller with eight 3.5-inch bays

The installed PERC H730 RAID controller manages up to eight 3.5-inch SATA or SAS drives, defining the storage topology for this server. Maximum system memory reaches 768 GB across twenty-four DIMM slots when expansion is required. Remote administration is handled through iDRAC8 Enterprise licence.

Questions about this item

Will the PERC H730 RAID controller need a battery or cache module replacement later?

The PERC H730 uses a flash-backed write cache that does not require a separate battery replacement under normal operation.

Which component hits its limit first when both Xeon E5-2698 v3 CPUs run at 2.3 GHz continuously?

The dual 495 W power supplies set the sustained power ceiling before the processors reach thermal throttling.

How loud and hot does the 8-bay 3.5-inch chassis get with two 495 W supplies running 24/7?

Dual 495 W supplies and eight drive bays push chassis airflow to near-maximum fan speed, producing noticeable noise and exhaust heat in a 36 x 24 x 10 in rack footprint.
