Dell PowerEdge R730 8SFF Server

The Dell PowerEdge R730 is a 2U rack-mounted server system designed for virtualization and database workloads. It ships with dual Intel Xeon E5-2620 v3 processors running at 2.4GHz and 384GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory. The 8-bay 2.5-inch chassis supports SAS drives through an integrated PERC H730 RAID controller. Remote management is handled by iDRAC8 with an Enterprise license.

SAS Interface and PERC H730 Limits

The server uses a SAS storage interface connected to the Dell PERC H730 RAID controller for drive connectivity. This controller manages RAID levels across the eight front-accessible 2.5-inch drive bays. Network connectivity includes dual 10GbE and dual 1GbE ports via Intel I350 and X540 adapters. The system supports a maximum of two processors, which are already installed in this configuration.

Memory Capacity and Expansion Headroom

Installed memory totals 384GB of DDR4 across the available DIMM slots, reaching half of the 768GB maximum capacity supported by the dual-processor architecture. This leaves headroom for additional memory modules if workload demands increase beyond the current configuration. The system includes dual 495W power supplies for redundancy. Storage drives are not included, requiring separate procurement for the eight SAS bays.

Questions about this item

How do I choose between the 8SFF chassis and a larger drive-bay option?

The 8SFF chassis accepts eight 2.5-inch drives and is the only bay configuration listed for this R730.

What does the 2.4 GHz clock speed mean for actual workload performance?

Two Xeon E5-2620 v3 processors at 2.4 GHz provide 12 cores and 24 threads for parallel tasks such as virtualization or database work.

How does the SAS interface with the PERC H730 controller limit drive speed?

The PERC H730 SAS controller manages RAID across the eight 2.5-inch bays, so drive throughput is governed by the SAS link and RAID level chosen.
