Dell PowerEdge R530 2U server

The Dell PowerEdge R530 is a 2U rack server built around a single Intel Xeon E5-2630 V3 eight-core processor running at 2.4 GHz. It ships with 8 GB of DDR4 memory across twelve DIMM slots and includes a Dell PERC H730 RAID controller with 1 GB cache. Two 300 GB 15 K SAS drives occupy two of eight hot-plug 3.5-inch bays, and dual 750 W redundant power supplies provide resiliency.

IT teams needing dense SAS storage

This platform suits organisations that want up to eight 3.5-inch SAS or SATA drives with hardware RAID levels 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60. The single-socket configuration and 8 GB base memory limit immediate virtualisation density, so buyers who need larger memory footprints or dual-processor performance from day one should evaluate other platforms.

Single Xeon E5-2630 V3 with twelve DDR4 slots

The installed processor delivers eight physical cores and sixteen threads at 2.4 GHz, while the twelve DIMM slots support DDR4 modules up to 32 GB each for a maximum of 384 GB when a second CPU is added. This CPU-and-slot combination determines whether the server can meet your compute and memory targets.

Questions about this item

Will the 300GB 15K SAS drives need replacement before the server itself?

The 300GB 15K SAS drives are mechanical and have a finite lifespan; plan to replace them if SMART alerts appear or performance drops under sustained RAID 0/1/5/6/10/50/60 workloads.

What limits sustained throughput on the H730 controller with these drives?

The H730 1GB 12Gbps RAID controller and 6Gbps SAS drives set the ceiling; sequential throughput will hit the drive interface limit before the controller saturates.

How loud and hot does the 2U chassis get with both 750W supplies running continuously?

Dual 750W redundant supplies and eight 3.5" drive bays mean fan speeds ramp under load; expect noticeable airflow noise and warm exhaust in a 25.4" deep rack.
