1U rack server with Xeon E3-1220 v5

The Dell PowerEdge R330 is a 1U rack-mount server built around a single Intel Xeon E3-1220 v5 quad-core processor running at 3.0 GHz. It ships with 16 GB of DDR4 memory installed across four DIMM slots and includes a DVD-ROM drive. This configuration suits small-business workloads, remote-office infrastructure or edge deployments that need dense compute in a single rack unit.

PERC H730 RAID controller with 1 GB cache

Storage is managed by a Dell PERC H730 controller providing 1 GB of cache and a 12 Gbps SAS interface. The card supports RAID levels 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60, giving flexibility for redundancy or capacity-focused arrays. Two 4 TB 7.2 K SAS drives are installed in the front hot-plug bays, leaving two additional 3.5-inch bays available for expansion.

8 TB raw storage expandable to 40 TB

The two included 4 TB drives deliver 8 TB of raw capacity, with the chassis supporting up to 40 TB across four 3.5-inch bays. Memory is capped at 16 GB by the processor, so the system cannot utilise the 64 GB maximum quoted for the platform. Dual 350 W redundant power supplies and an iDRAC8 Express module provide baseline availability for essential services.

Questions about this item

What does the 3.0 GHz Xeon E3-1220 v5 actually deliver in a 1U rack server?

The quad-core processor runs at 3.0 GHz base frequency and handles single-threaded workloads and light virtualization within the 1U chassis.

How does the H730 12Gbps controller limit real-world drive speed with 6Gbps SAS drives?

The controller supports 12Gbps SAS, but the installed 6Gbps drives cap throughput at their native 6Gbps link rate.

What rail depth and bay count does the 18.99-inch deep R330 need for four 3.5-inch hot-plug drives?

The 1U chassis is 18.99 inches deep and provides four front-accessible 3.5-inch hot-plug bays for SAS or SATA drives.
