Dell PowerEdge R730 8-bay 384 GB DDR4

This Dell PowerEdge R730 server ships in an 8-bay 3.5-inch chassis with a single Xeon E5-2670 v3 processor running at 2.3 GHz and 12 cores. The system includes 384 GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory and a PERC H730 SAS controller. Remote management is provided by iDRAC8 Enterprise and dual 495 W power supplies are fitted.

Suits virtualisation hosts

The 384 GB DDR4 capacity and 12-core CPU fit workloads that need large memory footprints and moderate thread counts. The eight 3.5-inch drive bays support SATA and SAS media through the H730 controller. Buyers who need GPU acceleration, more than two processor sockets or flash storage beyond the SAS and SATA interfaces described should look at other platforms.

384 GB DDR4 ECC registered memory installed

The installed memory uses DDR4 ECC registered modules totalling 384 GB across the available DIMM slots. This capacity determines how many virtual machines or how large a dataset the server can hold in RAM before swapping to disk. The platform supports a maximum of 768 GB if additional modules are added later.

Questions about this item

Does the R730 ship with any 3.5" drives or must I supply all eight myself?

The server includes no drives; the eight 3.5-inch bays are empty and you choose the SATA or SAS disks to populate them.

Should I take the single E5-2670 v3 now and add a second CPU later, or order it with two from the start?

One 12-core E5-2670 v3 at 2.3 GHz is installed; a second socket is free, so you can add another identical processor later if workloads grow.

What does 384 GB DDR4 actually give me in this 2-socket box?

384 GB is installed across the first processor; the board supports up to 768 GB total when both sockets are populated, leaving room to double capacity.
