Dell PowerEdge R730 2.5-inch 8-Bay Server

This Dell PowerEdge R730 is a 2U rack-mount server fitted with two Intel Xeon E5-2640 v3 processors running at 2.6GHz and 512GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory. The chassis provides eight 2.5-inch SAS drive bays served by a PERC H730 RAID controller. Remote management is handled by iDRAC8 Enterprise, and dual 495W power supplies are installed. The unit ships with BIOS and firmware updated to the latest stable version.

Suited for memory-intensive virtualisation

The dual eight-core CPUs and half-terabyte of RAM make this platform a strong fit for consolidation, virtual desktop infrastructure and in-memory analytics. Organisations that need more than 768GB of memory or require storage interfaces beyond SAS should evaluate alternative platforms. The integrated graphics and lack of discrete GPU support also rule out GPU-accelerated compute tasks.

Maximum memory capacity is 768GB DDR4

The system board supports up to 768GB of DDR4 across its DIMM slots, so the installed 512GB leaves headroom for future expansion. This ceiling is the key figure when planning workload growth or licensing per-socket memory limits.

Questions about this item

How far can the 512 GB DDR4 be expanded before the platform limit is reached?

The installed 512 GB DDR4 can be increased up to the platform maximum of 768 GB.

What are the acoustic and thermal characteristics when the dual 495 W power supplies run continuously?

Dual 495 W supplies feed the 2.6 GHz Xeon pair; fan speed scales with load to maintain thermal limits during sustained operation.

Which drive tray size matches the eight front bays so I can populate storage myself?

The chassis provides eight 2.5-inch SAS bays served by the PERC H730 controller.
