Dell PowerEdge R730 8-bay rack server

The Dell PowerEdge R730 is a 2U rack-mount server built around two Intel Xeon E5-2650L v3 processors running at 1.8 GHz with 12 cores each and 30 MB cache. It ships with 512 GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory installed and supports a maximum of 768 GB across 24 DIMM slots. The chassis provides eight 3.5-inch drive bays connected to a Dell PERC H730 SAS controller with SATA interface, and remote management is handled by iDRAC8 Enterprise.

Suited for memory-intensive workloads

This configuration suits organisations that need high core counts and large memory capacity for virtualisation, database or middleware workloads within an eight-drive 3.5-inch form factor. It is not for buyers who require more than eight drive bays, need a different drive form factor such as 2.5-inch, or want a server that supports processor upgrades beyond the two-socket limit. Buyers seeking GPU acceleration beyond integrated graphics should also look elsewhere.

Eight 3.5-inch drive bays

The single specification that determines fit is the eight-bay 3.5-inch chassis paired with the PERC H730 SAS RAID controller. This combination fixes the maximum number of spinning drives or SATA SSDs at eight and defines the RAID levels available. If your storage plan needs more bays, 2.5-inch media, or a different controller feature set, this platform will not meet the requirement.

Questions about this item

Will the R730's 1.8 GHz Xeon E5-2650L v3 CPUs and PERC H730 controller work with my existing 3.5" SATA drives?

Yes, the chassis accepts up to 8 x 3.5" SATA drives and the PERC H730 SAS controller manages them directly.

How can I verify the dual 12-core processors and 512 GB DDR4 ECC memory are recognised after installation?

Check the iDRAC8 Enterprise interface or POST screen; both will show 2 CPUs, 24 total cores and 512 GB registered DDR4.

The listing says drives are not included — what exactly ships in the box besides the 2 x 495 W power supplies?

Server chassis with motherboard, two Xeon E5-2650L v3 processors, 512 GB DDR4 ECC RDIMMs, PERC H730 RAID controller, Intel 2 x 10 GbE + 2 x 1 GbE NIC, iDRAC8 Enterprise, and dual 495 W PSUs.
