Dell PowerEdge R730 8-bay rack server

The Dell PowerEdge R730 is a 2U rack server built for virtualisation clusters and database workloads. Dual Xeon E5-2698 v4 processors supply 40 cores at 2.2 GHz with 50 MB cache per CPU. 512 GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory is installed, leaving room to reach the 768 GB maximum.

Eight 3.5-inch drive bays

The chassis accepts up to eight 3.5-inch SATA or SAS drives managed by the PERC H730 RAID controller. No drives are installed, so storage capacity and RAID level are chosen at order time. Network connectivity includes two 10 GbE and two 1 GbE ports from Intel I350 and X540 adapters.

512 GB DDR4 installed, expandable to 768 GB

The single specification that decides fit is the 512 GB DDR4 ECC registered memory already populated across 24 DIMM slots. Buyers who need more than 768 GB total capacity or who require a different memory generation cannot use this configuration.

Questions about this item

Should I choose the 512 GB DDR4 configuration or the maximum 768 GB capacity?

The system ships with 512 GB of DDR4 ECC Registered memory installed and supports up to 768 GB total, so you can add more modules later if your workloads demand it.

What does the 2.2 GHz clock speed on the dual Xeon E5-2698 v4 CPUs mean for actual throughput?

Each processor provides 20 cores at 2.2 GHz with 50 MB cache, giving 40 cores total for heavily threaded applications such as virtualization or database workloads.

How does the PERC H730 SAS controller limit drive performance with SATA drives?

The PERC H730 SAS controller manages the eight 3.5-inch bays; SATA drives will operate at SATA speeds while the controller itself supports SAS signalling for future upgrades.
