Dell PowerEdge R730 8-Bay Server

This 2U rack server ships with one Intel Xeon E5-2660 v3 processor running at 2.6 GHz. It includes 256 GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory and a PERC H730 SAS controller supporting up to eight 3.5-inch SATA drives. Remote management is handled by iDRAC8 with an Enterprise licence.

Suits virtualisation hosts

The single 10-core CPU and 256 GB RAM fit small-to-medium virtualisation clusters or file-serving roles. Eight large-form-factor bays give high raw capacity. Buyers who need a second processor, GPU compute or more than 768 GB maximum memory should evaluate other platforms.

PERC H730 SAS controller with eight 3.5-inch bays

The integrated H730 RAID card manages up to eight SATA drives in the chassis. This determines whether the system can meet your storage density and RAID-level requirements before purchase.

Questions about this item

What DDR4 memory can I add later to reach the 768 GB maximum?

The system accepts DDR4 ECC registered DIMMs; four slots are already filled by the 256 GB installed, leaving twelve slots open for expansion up to the 768 GB limit.

Which component will hit its ceiling first during a sustained all-core workload?

The single Xeon E5-2660 v3 with ten cores at 2.6 GHz will reach its thermal and frequency limits before the dual 495 W power supplies or the PERC H730 controller saturate.

How loud and hot does the rack unit get when it runs 24/7 with both 495 W supplies loaded?

Dual 495 W supplies and the 10-core CPU push considerable heat through the 36 x 24 x 10 in chassis, so expect noticeable fan noise and warm exhaust air in a closed rack.
