Dell PowerEdge R730 2U server

The Dell PowerEdge R730 is a 2U rack server built around a single Intel Xeon E5-2609 v3 six-core processor running at 1.9GHz. It ships with 96GB of DDR4 memory installed across 24 DIMM slots and uses the Intel C610 chipset. The chassis includes two 750W redundant hot-swap power supplies and a DVD ROM drive.

IT teams needing dense 2.5-inch storage in 2U

This server suits teams that want up to eight 2.5-inch hot-plug SAS or SATA drives managed by the PERC H330 controller supporting RAID 0/1/5/10/50/60. Buyers who need 3.5-inch drive bays or more than two processors should look at a different chassis. The single CPU configuration also limits total memory to 96GB despite the board supporting 1536GB with two processors.

PERC H330 RAID controller with 12Gbps SAS

The installed PERC H330 controller provides 12Gbps SAS connectivity and supports RAID 0/1/5/10/50/60 across the eight drive bays. This specification decides whether the server can handle the desired drive count and redundancy level. No drives or drive trays are included.

Questions about this item

Will the 96GB DDR4 memory need to be replaced or can I add more later?

The server has 24 DDR4 DIMM slots and currently uses 96GB. You can add modules up to the 1536GB maximum using 4GB, 8GB, 16GB, 32GB, 64GB or 128GB DDR4 sticks up to 2400MT/s.

What limits sustained performance first, the single 1.9GHz E5-2609 v3 CPU or the H330 controller?

The single six-core 1.9GHz E5-2609 v3 processor will reach its compute ceiling before the H330 12Gbps RAID controller saturates, especially with only one CPU installed of the two supported.

How loud and hot does the 2U chassis get with both 750W supplies running continuously?

Dual 750W redundant power supplies and multiple system fans keep the 2U rack unit within thermal limits, but fan speed rises under load producing noticeable datacentre-level noise in quiet rooms.
