Dell PowerEdge R730 8-Bay Server

The Dell PowerEdge R730 is a 2U rack-mount server built for memory-heavy workloads. It ships with 384 GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory and a single Intel Xeon E5-2650 v4 processor running at 2.2 GHz with twelve cores. The chassis supports up to eight 3.5-inch drive bays and includes a PERC H730 SAS controller with two 495 W power supplies.

Suits Virtualisation and Database Hosts

This configuration fits teams consolidating virtual machines or running in-memory databases that benefit from the large installed RAM and the second CPU socket for future expansion. Remote management is handled by iDRAC8 Enterprise and networking includes two 10 GbE plus two 1 GbE ports. Buyers who need GPU compute or more than eight drive bays should evaluate other platforms.

384 GB DDR4 Memory Installed

The system arrives with 384 GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory installed across the available DIMM slots, leaving headroom up to the 768 GB maximum. This single specification determines whether the server can hold your working set without paging. Memory type is fixed at DDR4; other generations are not compatible.

Questions about this item

Should I choose the single 2.2GHz 12-core Xeon E5-2650v4 or add a second processor?

The chassis supports up to two CPUs; the installed 12-core 2.2GHz Xeon E5-2650v4 delivers 30MB cache and strong multi-threaded throughput for virtualization or database workloads, while a second identical processor would double core count and memory channels.

What does 384GB DDR4 ECC registered memory provide in a live workload?

384GB of DDR4 ECC registered RAM fills 24 slots at 2.2GHz speeds, giving ample capacity for large VM fleets, in-memory databases, or heavy compute jobs while ECC protects data integrity under sustained load.

How does the PERC H730 SAS controller with SATA drives limit real-world storage speed?

The PERC H730 SAS RAID controller manages up to eight 3.5-inch SATA drives; SATA interface caps each drive at 6Gb/s, so aggregate throughput depends on drive count and RAID level rather than the controller's 12Gb/s SAS capability.
