Dual-socket Xeon server for dense storage workloads

The Dell PowerEdge R730 fits eight 3.5-inch drive bays behind a 2U rack footprint. Two Xeon E5-2680 v3 processors deliver 24 cores at 2.5 GHz with 30 MB cache each. Installed 512 GB DDR4 ECC registered memory leaves room to reach the 768 GB ceiling.

Thermals and power under typical load

Redundant 495 W supplies share the draw so one unit can fail without downtime. The PERC H730 SAS controller manages RAID across the drive array while integrated graphics keep the PCIe slots free. iDRAC8 Enterprise gives remote console and power control over a dedicated management port.

Bundled controller and networking expand capability

The H730 RAID card supports SAS and SATA drives in multiple RAID levels for capacity or redundancy. A quad-port Intel network card adds two 10 GbE and two 1 GbE links for storage and management traffic. Rail kit is available on request for rack mounting.

Questions about this item

How do I install the PERC H730 RAID controller and what step is often missed?

Seat the PERC H730 into the dedicated internal slot, connect the SAS cables to the backplane, then use the controller BIOS to create a virtual disk before the OS installer will see any volume.

Which components will need replacement first under continuous operation?

The two 495 W power supplies and the system fans are the only field-replaceable parts rated for hot-swap; plan to swap a supply after several years of 24/7 load.

What limit appears first when the server runs sustained workloads?

The 768 GB memory ceiling is reached before the two-socket maximum, so heavy virtualisation will hit the RAM cap while CPU sockets remain fully populated.
