PowerEdge R730 8-bay rack server

The Dell PowerEdge R730 is a 2U rack server built for dense storage workloads. It ships with one Xeon E5-2650 v3 processor running at 2.3GHz with 10 cores and 384GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory installed. The 8LFF chassis accepts up to eight 3.5-inch SATA or SAS drives for high-capacity arrays.

Single CPU leaves room for a second processor

One socket is populated and a second is free, allowing a simple upgrade to 20 cores without changing the motherboard. The PERC H730 RAID controller handles the drive bays and frees the CPU from parity calculations. Dual 495W supplies provide redundancy, and iDRAC8 Enterprise gives full remote control over a dedicated network port.

Sustained throughput for cold data

The 25MB last-level cache on the Xeon keeps frequent metadata close during long backup or archive jobs. DDR4 ECC corrects single-bit errors without halting the workload, and the H730 write-back cache absorbs bursty ingest before flushing to spinning disks. Integrated graphics and dual 10GbE plus dual 1GbE ports keep management traffic off the storage network.

Questions about this item

How many 3.5-inch drive bays does the R730 8LFF chassis support?

The 8LFF chassis supports up to 8 drive bays for 3.5-inch SATA or SAS drives, giving you room to add the storage capacity you need.

What is the noise and heat output like with the dual 495W power supplies running continuously?

Dual 495W supplies share the load efficiently; the system is built for 24/7 operation in a rack environment with standard server cooling.

Does the PERC H730 RAID controller require a specific cache module or battery to enable write-back caching?

The PERC H730 includes on-board cache; adding a supported cache module with battery or flash backup enables full write-back caching and data protection.
