Dell PowerEdge R730 8-bay server

This Dell PowerEdge R730 is a 2U rack server built for compute-heavy workloads. It ships with dual Intel Xeon E5-2670 processors at 2.6 GHz and 256 GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory. The chassis supports up to eight 3.5-inch drives and includes a PERC H730 SAS controller for RAID. Integrated iDRAC8 Enterprise enables full remote management.

Ideal for virtualisation hosts and database nodes

The 256 GB memory capacity and twin 8-core CPUs suit virtualisation clusters, database servers or rendering farms that need plenty of RAM and core count. Buyers who need more than 768 GB of memory or require GPU acceleration should evaluate other platforms. The 8-bay 3.5-inch layout limits high-density flash deployments.

PERC H730 SAS controller with eight 3.5-inch bays

Storage connectivity hinges on the PERC H730 RAID controller driving up to eight 3.5-inch SATA or SAS drives. No drives are installed, so you select capacity and redundancy to match the workload. The controller caps the storage interface at SAS and SATA protocols.

Questions about this item

Should I pick the 8-bay 3.5" chassis or a different drive-count version?

This listing is the 8-bay 3.5" chassis; other bay counts are separate SKUs not covered here.

What does the 2.6 GHz Xeon speed deliver in a live workload?

Two E5-2670 CPUs at 2.6 GHz give 20 cores total for multi-threaded tasks such as virtualization or databases.

How does the PERC H730 SAS controller limit the SATA drives I can use?

The H730 manages RAID over SAS lanes while accepting SATA drives; the eight 3.5" bays set the physical drive limit.
