Server purpose

The Dell PowerEdge R330 is a 1U rack server built around a single Intel Xeon E3-1220 v5 quad-core processor running at 3GHz with 4GB of DDR4 memory. It targets small-business workloads such as file serving, light virtualization or web hosting where a compact, redundant platform is required. Buyers needing more than one CPU socket or larger initial memory should look elsewhere.

Storage and RAID impact

Four 600GB 15K 6Gbps 3.5-inch SAS drives ship pre-installed behind the H730 controller with 1GB cache, delivering hardware RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60. The hot-plug bays accept SAS or SATA media, so capacity can grow without downtime. The DVD-ROM remains for legacy media tasks. No solid-state drives or operating system are included.

Interface and expansion limits

The system provides two PCIe 3.0 slots plus one dedicated internal storage slot, limiting add-in cards to low-profile form factors. Network connectivity defaults to a dual-port 1GbE daughter card with no 10GbE option on board. Remote management runs iDRAC8 Express, upgradeable to Enterprise with optional vFlash media. Maximum supported memory is 64GB across four DIMM slots at up to 2400MT/s.

Questions about this item

Can the 4 GB DDR4 memory be expanded beyond the installed amount?

The system has four DIMM slots and the processor supports up to 64 GB of DDR4 at 2400 MT/s, so 8 GB or 16 GB modules can be added to reach that limit.

Which component will reach its ceiling first when the PERC H730 drives four 15 K SAS disks at full tilt?

The controller’s 12 Gbps SAS interface and 1 GB cache handle the aggregate throughput of the four 600 GB 15 K drives, so the disk spindle speed becomes the practical bottleneck.

How loud and hot does the 1 U chassis get with both 350 W redundant supplies running continuously?

Dual 350 W hot-swap supplies share the load, keeping each unit below peak stress; the 1 U form factor uses high-speed fans that produce noticeable airflow noise in a quiet room.
