Dell PowerEdge R730 2U rack server

The Dell PowerEdge R730 is a 2U rack server built for midsize and large enterprise workloads. It ships with dual Intel Xeon E5-2660 v4 processors, each running at 2.0 GHz with 14 cores. The system includes 128 GB of DDR4 memory and a PERC H730 storage controller.

Suits virtualisation, databases

This configuration fits organisations running virtual desktop infrastructure, data warehouses or e-commerce platforms that benefit from 28 total cores and registered ECC memory. Buyers who require more than two sockets, larger local storage capacity, or a different drive interface should evaluate other platforms.

Dual Xeon E5-2660 v4 14-core CPUs at 2.0 GHz

The pair of 14-core processors delivers 28 threads with a 3.2 GHz turbo frequency, defining the compute ceiling for this server. Memory scales to 1.5 TB across 24 DDR4 slots, while the H730 controller manages the two installed 800 GB SATA SSDs in RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 or 60.

Questions about this item

How can I confirm the two Xeon E5-2660 v4 processors and 128GB DDR4 memory are recognised after installation?

During POST the BIOS will display both 14-core CPUs at 2.0GHz and show 128GB of registered ECC DDR4 across the 24 DIMM slots.

Which items are included and which must be purchased separately?

The chassis ships with two 750W platinum power supplies, PERC H730 1GB controller, X520/I350 quad-port network card, iDRAC8 Enterprise, rails, bezel and two 800GB SATA SSDs; additional drives or memory are not included.

Should I choose the 800GB SSD configuration or a larger capacity for database workloads?

The installed 800GB SATA SSDs provide high endurance for mixed read-write database use; the 8-bay 2.5" chassis supports up to eight drives if more capacity is needed.
