Homelab Servers Pt8 - Is your server costing you a server a year to run? Dell R710 vs R730



The Dell R710 was a workhorse for Dell for many years and is in use globally still, but is it costing you more to run than you think? Could upgrading save you enough to buy a new server?

    When thinking about power hrm… My 720xd has 10 14TB sas, 4 SSD, 4 nvme optane, 2 optane PCI, 9400-16e and a tesla p4..768 gigs of ram and dual 2660v2 -308 watts. I have a set of 2697 v2s that just not really needed. Use to use a set of 2687w v2 .. Whew now those things spit fire out the back. 160watt parts.

    Love the video. Not having issues from iDrac6 on my 310. Using the firmware update 2.92 (Build 05) (I see other people having issues with the older firmware versions logging in so that may help). Power on the PowerEdge 10 series is way higher on the power draw, use mine for backup servers, they automatically come on, back everything up then shutdown.

    and R730 with the 3.5:" bays, lower end processor, and mucho ram is wonderful for truenas

    Combine it with a MD1200 for a couple hundred bucks…

    Hmmm this throws up some interesting questions about what I should do with all the supermicro and IBM X5600 CPU series servers I have been hoarding, not to mention the old Mac Pros (5, 1) on the same chips. And should I even go pick up the Dell R7610 available to me? Maybe there's a good reason I'm getting all these old beasts for free haha!

    This server is running Windows server… 😂😂😂😂😂😂
    Thanks for your work but this sounds like a joke… 😮 Isn't one ??😢🤨

    Great vid. I'd be interested in a real-world discussion about power usage, e.g. when you start adding disks, comparing different disk types, etc. I'm running an R530 with 6x 4TB disks (3.5"). It seemed like a great idea at the time when I set this up but ugh the power usage is painful. Using for CCTV server (Blueiris with 10 cams), Node-RED and general automation server (uses hardly any processing / disk), router / DHCP server (Untangle), backup server (Veeam backup of VMs), and general RDP host for running apps remotely like Lightroom and for archive storage.

    I think I'm going to have some black friday action today and buy some SSDs, remove those spinning disks, reduce my total capacity and move some of the storage offline.

  7. @squirrel_ca9745

    October 13, 2024 at 2:09 pm

    You also forgot to mention DDR3 vs DDR4 on the R730. That alone makes a huge difference in performance too

  8. @watchbro3319

    October 13, 2024 at 2:09 pm

    Nice indepth insides ❤

  9. @caizza3

    October 13, 2024 at 2:09 pm

    I have the same r730 setup but mines idling closer to 140W on performance per watt.. maybe the culprit is my OS: running ESXI

  10. @tangodown2721

    October 13, 2024 at 2:09 pm

    Would the 730 be suitable for a very small business or should we diy for newer hardware or just pay more for newer servers? Are old aervers like this only suitable for home testing/learning.

    I have no issues running 12tb HD's in my Dell R710…easy peasy….or a graphics card for that matter.

  13. @BrianNaeem

    October 13, 2024 at 2:09 pm

    I didn't want to hear this but i needed too. I probably cant bear to toss my R710 but i might turn it into a coffee table.

  14. @stefannilsson2406

    October 13, 2024 at 2:09 pm

    My old poweredge r810 consumes 300W on idle and can hit over 900W when loaded.
    It has 4×10 core cpu's though and all 32 memory slots are filled.

  15. @davidhughes3727

    October 13, 2024 at 2:09 pm

    Thanks for the interesting videos, I'm considering taking the plunge to do some experimenting. I'm tempted to wards an OEM version of an R730 but wondered if you could say what the difference is between those and a Dell branded one? Are there any disadvantages from a home lab perspective? Many thanks,

  16. @eiacob

    October 13, 2024 at 2:09 pm

    Have you tried to run exactly the same workload on both and compute power usage over the same exact work? Instant power usage at load x duration

  17. @plexnbrown760

    October 13, 2024 at 2:09 pm

    I would check with art of server. I am able to run 6tb drives without issues with it mode flashed card with unraid

  18. @benben4999

    October 13, 2024 at 2:09 pm

    have a question. I have a r510 with 9 HD, 70TB total with cashe drive. It sits around 230-270w with energy efficient on. Looking for 12-15 bay hotswap or not. Would it be easy to upgrade server/ Add jbod? ( have a powervault wd3100 has 2x600w psu not powered up or even hooked up)/built a whole rack mount server intel 11/12/13th gen? want low TDP. use unraid as OS with only using plex, unbuntu VM for website, shared folder for few computers to drop work doc's into. normally sits around 3-12% depending on what all running. Some insight would be great.

  19. @Mishanw

    October 13, 2024 at 2:09 pm

    I just purchased a used R720, wish I had watched this before, I would have tried to find a 730 instead. Any advice/recommendations to keep power consumption to a minimum and increase efficiency? Any upgrades I could do to help?

  20. @dj_paultuk7052

    October 13, 2024 at 2:09 pm

    I work in the biggest DC in the UK and we have 610 of the R730's in use. Out of all the servers we use (mix of HP, IBM and Dell), the 730's are probably the most reliable.

  21. @JSLEnterprises

    October 13, 2024 at 2:09 pm

    H700 can support 10TB drives without issues, and it shows up at 10TB drives (9.31TB formatted). I had 94TB raw total in a R510 with an H700 (6x8tb + 2x10tb).
    Also, the R710 did have a proper x16 riser. PN# OGP347

    Typical find in an 11th gen thats in any homelab use is probably using dual x5670's. the x55's are absolute garbage in comparison, that you might as well be using a 9th gen R2950ii

  22. @SteveHartmanVideos

    October 13, 2024 at 2:09 pm

    great video… seeing the power usage vs performance is a huge help in deciding what to buy.

  23. @_purejosh

    October 13, 2024 at 2:09 pm

    "don't buy this server", shows generic Dell server, "buy this server", shows the same generic Dell server.

    Dude, you do know that you can run only one CPU, right?

  26. @mikekane9734

    October 13, 2024 at 2:09 pm

    Hey Thanks for the vid! What would be your recommendation for a home storage server? Better to be a tower or not a full depth with lots of 3.5 bays? Obviously as a 24/7 energie efficiency is a priority

  27. @paynsmasher

    October 13, 2024 at 2:09 pm

    I got an R710 (the one with 8×2.5 slots) for free. Dual E5649s, 32GB RAM, a 120GB SSD Sata, 500GB HDD Sata, alongside with a PCI-E to NVME adapter with a 512GB NVME on it (actually capable of reaching up to 1.2GB/s surprisingly on a windows vm). It is actually running proxmox 8.1.4. I was looking at some R730s on ebay so it is kinda funny I found your video. But where I reside, the electricity bill is not really that a concern and also my gaming machine consume way more power than both the R730 and R710 running together at full blast. But I see the point I was gonna swapp those E5649s for X5690s, put 144GB of RAM and add 3 more nvmes that I would have software raid0 to get around 5GB/s for my VMs. But now your video made me even reconsider more my project. I just think that getting an R730 and just max it out would be a way better idea at this point.

  28. @AIC_onyt

    October 13, 2024 at 2:09 pm

    nowerdays a 13th gen i5 gets 24k cinebench points.
    running VMs on E-cores sounds kinda dumb though
    sadly there aren't any power efficient, affordable cpus that dont rely on E-cores

  31. @Ryet9

    October 13, 2024 at 2:09 pm

    A bit late, gr8 comparison, thought I'd throw up my stats
    R730xd (LFF) ~ E5-2680 v4* 2 (56 threads), 12* drives 3.5" + 2* 2.5", NICs 3* 0Y40PH + 1* Y36FR
    Present Reading: 308 Watts (34.22% Capacity) ~ daily use (not at all idle)
    Present Reading: 490 Watts (54.44% Capacity) ~ Full load
    this is with 2* 750w..incase anyone was wondering
    No issues for me with Broadcom NetXtreme II BCM57800 or BCM57810 1/10 Gigabit Ethernet cards installed in either Loonix or Winderps (but must admit not much windows testing at all, drivers auto found & installed & working… only installed windows to do 3DMark..hoping for UNKNOWN Hardware steam achivement)
    IDRAC 8 is so much nicer than the old JAVA..stuff

    how do the R740s (14 gen) stack up for power/performance?

  35. @XXX-XX-X-X

    October 13, 2024 at 2:09 pm

    13:30 what do you mean you need an insecure version of java? At what point are you running a java application? Is that what iDRAC is built with, do you mean?

  36. @HaydonRyan

    October 13, 2024 at 2:09 pm

    The idle power of that r730 is amazing! My r7515 idles at about 100-130w

New Home Backup Server (Dell T640 with 18 20TB Disks)

New Home Backup Server (Dell T640 with 18 20TB Disks)



In this video I create a new backup server from a Dell EMC PowerEdge T640 with 18x 20TB Seagate Exos refurbished drives. Also there’s some more ranting about backups in general. But idk, there are chapters so you can skip to whatever. And it’s not technically a server, in that it doesn’t serve files. It’s really more of a client that takes files from other servers and holds onto them. But I call it a backup server because hardware-wise it’s a server. Anywho, that’s the description. It’s probably not optimal for the YouTube algorithm, but hey, I’m not an influencer even though I have a TikTok account that I don’t use.

Update: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Secv5P01k2M&t=5195

The Man Who Revolutionized Computer Science With Math

The Man Who Revolutionized Computer Science With Math



Leslie Lamport revolutionized how computers talk to each other. The Turing Award-winning computer scientist pioneered the field of distributed systems, where multiple components on different networks coordinate to achieve a common objective. (Internet searches, cloud computing and artificial intelligence all involve orchestrating legions of powerful computing machines to work together.) In the early 1980s, Lamport also created LaTeX, a document preparation system that provides sophisticated ways to typeset complex formulas and format scientific documents. In 1989, Lamport invented Paxos, a “consensus algorithm” that allows multiple computers to execute complex tasks; without it, modern computing could not exist. He’s also brought more attention to a handful of problems, giving them distinctive names like the bakery algorithm and the Byzantine Generals Problem. Lamport’s work since the 1990s has focused on “formal verification,” the use of mathematical proofs to verify the correctness of software and hardware systems. Notably, he created a “specification language” called TLA+ (for Temporal Logic of Actions), which employs the precise language of mathematics to prevent bugs and avoid design flaws.
