2U rack server with dual Xeon E5-2603 V3

The Dell PowerEdge R530 is a 2U rack server built for dense storage workloads. It ships with two six-core Intel Xeon E5-2603 V3 processors running at 1.6GHz and 16GB of DDR4 memory. The system supports up to 384GB across 12 DIMM slots and includes a DVD-ROM drive.

Suits archives and cold data.

This configuration fits environments that need large-capacity SAS storage behind a hardware RAID controller. The H730 supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 across up to eight 3.5-inch hot-plug bays. Workloads requiring many concurrent threads or higher single-core frequency should evaluate other platforms.

Three 4TB 7.2K SAS drives and H730 controller

The server includes three Dell 4TB 7.2K 6Gbps SAS drives managed by the Perc H730 with 1GB cache and 12Gbps SAS connectivity. Redundant 750W power supplies and iDRAC8 remote management are standard. Five PCIe slots provide expansion for networking or additional storage controllers.

Questions about this item

How do I choose between the installed 16GB and the maximum 384GB memory capacity?

The server ships with 16GB of DDR4 across 12 DIMM slots. To reach 384GB you must populate all slots with 32GB modules; the installed CPUs limit actual speed to 2400MT/s.

What does the 1.6GHz clock on the dual E5-2603 V3 CPUs mean for real workloads?

Each processor has six cores at 1.6GHz, giving 12 total threads for parallel tasks such as virtualisation or database services; single-thread performance matches the base frequency.

How does the 12Gbps H730 controller affect the 6Gbps SAS drives installed?

The H730 supports 12Gbps SAS, but the supplied 4TB drives run at 6Gbps, so the array is capped at the drive speed while the controller provides RAID 0/1/5/6/10/50/60.
