Rack server with eight 3.5-inch bays

The Dell PowerEdge R730 arrives in an 8LFF chassis that accepts up to eight 3.5-inch SATA or SAS drives. A single Xeon E5-2650 v3 running at 2.3 GHz delivers ten cores and 25 MB of cache. The system ships with 256 GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory installed and a PERC H730 RAID controller. Remote management is handled by iDRAC8 with an Enterprise licence.

Sustained load on dual 495 W supplies

Two 495 W power supplies share the load so the server can maintain full CPU and memory throughput during extended compute jobs. The PERC H730 controller offloads RAID parity calculations from the processor, keeping all ten cores available for application threads. iDRAC8 provides continuous sensor monitoring and remote power cycling without interrupting the host operating system.

Maximum memory capacity of 768 GB

The platform supports up to 768 GB of DDR4 across its DIMM slots, so the installed 256 GB can be tripled when workloads grow. Buyers who need more than 768 GB of RAM must choose a different server generation. No drives are included; storage must be selected separately to match capacity and redundancy requirements.
