Compact 1U rack server

The Dell PowerEdge R330 is a 1U rack server built around a single Intel Xeon E3-1220 v5 quad-core processor running at 3 GHz. It ships with 32 GB of DDR4 memory across four DIMM slots and includes a PERC H730 RAID controller with 1 GB cache. Two 600 GB 15K SAS drives occupy two of the four hot-plug 3.5-inch bays, and dual 350 W redundant power supplies provide resilience for continuous operation.

Suits small workloads; not for heavy virtualisation

This configuration suits small businesses or remote offices needing a space-efficient host for light databases, file services or a single hypervisor instance. The single-socket design and 32 GB memory ceiling limit consolidation density, so environments that require multiple processors, larger memory footprints or extensive GPU acceleration should evaluate larger platforms.

Memory fixed at 32 GB DDR4

The installed 32 GB matches the system’s listed maximum capacity, leaving no headroom for future upgrades. Buyers who anticipate growth beyond this limit will need a server that supports higher memory ceilings or additional DIMM slots.

Questions about this item

Will the 1U rack rails and bezel ship with the R330 so I can mount it in a standard cabinet?

Rail kit and bezel are not included; they must be sourced separately for 1U installation.

Can the H730 controller also run the 6 Gbps SAS drives alongside newer 12 Gbps drives in the same 3.5" hot-plug bays?

The H730 12 Gbps controller is backward compatible with the installed 600 GB 6 Gbps SAS drives and supports mixed SAS/SATA populations.

How do I confirm the iDRAC8 remote management is active after first power-on?

Connect a monitor to the Matrox G200eR2 video output; the iDRAC8 IP address appears on the POST screen for browser access.
