Dell PowerEdge R730 8LFF Server

This Dell PowerEdge R730 is a 2U rack server fitted with one Intel Xeon E5-2698 v4 processor running at 2.2GHz and 256GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory. It ships with a PERC H730 SAS controller and dual 495W power supplies. The chassis supports up to eight 3.5-inch SATA drive bays but contains no drives as standard.

Suits single-socket compute with room to grow

The single-socket configuration and 256GB RAM fit virtualisation hosts, database nodes or backup targets that need strong multi-threaded performance and up to 768GB memory headroom. Buyers who need dual-processor throughput from day one or more than eight drive bays should evaluate a larger platform.

PERC H730 controller defines the storage path

The installed PERC H730 RAID controller manages SAS and SATA drives only, so the eight 3.5-inch bays accept traditional hard disks or SATA SSDs. If the workload requires a different drive interface the controller would need to be changed.

Questions about this item

Should I choose the 8-bay 3.5-inch chassis or a smaller bay count for this server?

The 8-bay 3.5-inch chassis supports up to eight large-form-factor drives, giving maximum internal storage density for workloads that need many high-capacity SATA or SAS disks.

What does the single Xeon E5-2698 v4 at 2.2 GHz with 20 cores and 50 MB cache deliver in a live workload?

Twenty cores at 2.2 GHz provide strong multi-threaded throughput for virtualisation, databases or compute tasks, while the large cache reduces memory latency for data-intensive applications.

How does the PERC H730 SAS controller and the installed 10 GbE plus 1 GbE network card limit real-world throughput?

The H730 handles SAS and SATA drives at up to 12 Gb/s per lane, and the dual 10 GbE ports cap network traffic at 10 Gb/s each, with two additional 1 GbE links for management.
