DELL PowerEdge R330 rack server E3-1220 v5 3GHz 4GB DDR4 2x 4TB SAS H730 2x 350W

1U rack server for small-scale workloads

The Dell PowerEdge R330 is a 1U rack server built around a single Intel Xeon E3-1220 v5 quad-core processor running at 3GHz. It ships with 4GB of DDR4 memory and two 4TB 7.2K SAS drives managed by a PERC H730 RAID controller. Dual 350W redundant power supplies and hot-plug drive bays support continuous operation in space-constrained environments.

Upgrade from tower or single-drive systems

This platform replaces tower servers or non-redundant 1U units that lack hardware RAID and hot-swap bays. The jump is worth it when you need RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 or 60 across up to four 3.5-inch drives and remote management via iDRAC8. The single-socket C236 chipset limits CPU expansion to one processor.

4GB memory and 8TB raw storage baseline

The installed 4GB DDR4 across four DIMM slots supports up to 64GB total using 4GB, 8GB or 16GB modules at 2400MT/s. Two 4TB SAS drives provide 8TB raw capacity; the chassis accepts four drives for a 40TB maximum. Two PCIe 3.0 slots and a dedicated storage slot allow controller or networking upgrades.
