DELL PowerEdge R330 1U rack server E3-1220v5 16GB 2x 600GB SAS H730 2x 350W

1U rack server for single-socket workloads

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 16 GB of DDR4 memory across four DIMM slots and a Perc H730 RAID controller with 1 GB cache. Two 600 GB 15K SAS drives and dual 350 W redundant power supplies are installed.

Suits small business and remote-office roles

This configuration fits organisations that need a compact, redundant platform for file, print or light virtualisation duties. The four 3.5-inch hot-plug bays and H730 controller support RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60. Buyers who require more than one CPU socket, more than 16 GB of RAM or more than four drive bays should consider a larger chassis.

Memory ceiling fixed at 16 GB

The C236 chipset and installed processor limit total system memory to 16 GB, matching the amount already populated in the four DDR4 slots. No further memory upgrades are possible without changing the CPU or platform, so capacity planning must stay within this boundary.
