7 PowerEdge R730 and R730xd Technical GuideNew technologiesTable 1 lists the new technologies featured on the PowerEdge R730 and R730xd systems.Table 1. New technologiesNew technologies Detailed descriptionsIntel Xeon ProcessorE5-2600 v3 product familyThe Intel Xeon Processor E5-2600 v3 product has advanced features that deliverexceptional performance and value. See the Processors section for details.Intel C610 series chipset The R730 and R730xd servers use the Intel Platform Controller Hub (PCH) chip.2133MT/s DDR4 memory Certain models of E5-2600 v3 processors support 2133MT/s memory. The R730and R730xd support three DIMMs per channel at 1866MT/s with theseprocessors. See the Memory section for details.Next-generation PERCoptionsThe R730 and R730xd support new Dell PowerEdge RAID Controller (PERC)cards with improved functionality and faster performance. See the Storagesection for details.PERC S130This new software RAID solution supports RAID 0, 1, 5 and 10 and supports amaximum of eight hot-plug SATA hard disk drives (HDD) or solid-state drives(SSD).

See the Power, thermal and acoustics section for details.12Gb/s SASSAS-3 doubles the interface bandwidth from the previous generation at 12Gb/s.SAS-3 addresses signal quality through transmitter training, which gives one ofthe receiver device’s key interconnects, its PHY, the ability to modify the settingsof the transmitter device’s PHY.6Gb/s SATASATA 3.0 runs with a native transfer rate of 6Gb/s, and taking 8b/10b encodinginto account, the maximum uncoded transfer rate is 4.8Gb/s (600MB/s). Thetheoretical burst throughput of SATA 3.0 is double that of SATA 2.0.
