Dell PowerEdge R730 — Full Technical Specifications
The R730 is the thirteenth-generation two-socket rack server, long out of Dell's build catalogue and still among the most asked-for machines we handle. It gets bought now as capacity that does not need to be current: lab estates, secondary sites, batch work, and the second half of a pair whose first half is already an R730.
On this site it is listed refurbished and not new, which is an honest reflection of where the supply for it is.

Full Specifications
Treat the table as the envelope of a generation rather than the description of a unit: what you receive is the configuration named on the quotation, and the rows say what that configuration is permitted to contain. On a used machine the lines that repay attention are the controller and the management ones — a server of this age is bought partly for the tooling around it, and an estate already running the same management stack gets more from it than one starting fresh. Each unit is powered on and booted on our bench, configuration checked against the spec, completeness and visual inspection, photos, logs and serials recorded, so the specification quoted is the one somebody watched run.
