DELL PowerEdge R730 8SFF 2x Xeon E5-2660V3 512GB DDR4

Dell PowerEdge R730 8SFF Server

The Dell PowerEdge R730 is a 2U rack-mount server system built for virtualisation, database and compute-intensive workloads. It ships with two Intel Xeon E5-2660 v3 processors running at 2.6 GHz, each providing 10 cores and 25 MB cache. Installed memory totals 512 GB of DDR4 ECC registered DIMMs across 24 slots, leaving room to reach the 768 GB maximum. The chassis holds up to eight 2.5-inch SAS drive bays and includes a PERC H730 RAID controller. Remote management is handled by iDRAC8 with an Enterprise licence.

Suited for multi-threaded applications

This configuration suits organisations that need high core counts and large memory capacity in a dense 2U form factor. The dual-socket design supports up to two processors, so workloads requiring more than two sockets will need a different platform. Buyers who require dedicated GPU acceleration or storage interfaces beyond SAS should evaluate other options. The integrated graphics and 495 W redundant power supplies are intended for headless server operation.

512 GB DDR4 ECC memory installed

The single specification that determines fit is the 512 GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory already populated across 24 DIMM slots. This capacity supports substantial virtual-machine density and in-memory databases immediately. Expansion to 768 GB is possible by adding modules, but the installed memory type and speed are fixed to DDR4. Verify that your workload fits within this memory ceiling and that DDR4 compatibility matches your existing infrastructure.
