Purpose-built rack server

The Dell PowerEdge R730 is a 2U rack-mount system fitted with two Intel Xeon E5-2650 v3 ten-core processors at 2.3 GHz and 64 GB of DDR4 memory. It ships with two 300 GB 15K SAS drives on a PERC H330 RAID controller that supports levels 0, 1, 5, 10, 50 and 60. Dual 750 W hot-swap power supplies and an iDRAC8 remote-management module are included.

Ideal for density-focused workloads

This server suits teams that need up to eight 2.5-inch hot-plug bays, up to 24 DDR4 DIMM slots and seven PCIe 3.0 slots in a compact 2U form factor. Buyers who need more than 64 GB of memory from day one, more than two 300 GB drives, or 10 GbE networking without adding a daughter card should look elsewhere.

Deciding specification: 64 GB DDR4 maximum

The system arrives with all 24 DIMM slots populated to reach 64 GB, the installed-memory ceiling for this configuration. Any memory expansion requires removing existing modules, so the 64 GB DDR4 limit determines whether the server meets the workload without extra procurement.

Questions about this item

How often will the 15K 300GB SAS drives need replacement under continuous operation?

The 15K 300GB SAS drives are enterprise-grade mechanical drives; typical service life in 24/7 use is several years, but exact replacement timing depends on workload intensity and environmental conditions.

Which component reaches its limit first during sustained full-load operation?

The dual E5-2650 v3 CPUs have a maximum memory capacity of 64GB DDR4 already installed, so memory expansion is the first hard ceiling under sustained heavy workloads.

What are the noise, heat and power characteristics when the server runs all day with both 750W supplies active?

Dual 750W redundant supplies draw only what the 2U chassis needs; the 15K SAS drives and ten-core CPUs generate noticeable heat, requiring adequate rack airflow, while fan noise is typical for enterprise 2U servers.
