DELL PowerEdge R530 2U rack server E5-2650 V3 10C 2.3GHz 16GB DDR4 3x 4TB SAS H730

Single-socket 2U server with SAS storage

The Dell PowerEdge R530 is a 2U rack server fitted with one Intel Xeon E5-2650 v3 ten-core processor running at 2.3 GHz and 16 GB of DDR4 memory. Three 4 TB 7.2K SAS drives and an H730 RAID controller provide hardware RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60. Dual 750 W redundant power supplies and hot-plug drive bays support continuous operation. iDRAC8 remote management and four 1 GbE ports handle administration and networking.

Suits storage-heavy workloads on a single CPU

This configuration fits buyers who need high-capacity SAS storage and hardware RAID behind a single ten-core Xeon. The 12 DIMM slots allow memory expansion up to 384 GB when a second processor is added. Buyers who require maximum compute density from two processors, more than eight drive bays, or 10 GbE networking should look at larger platforms.

One E5-2650 v3 limits cores to ten

The installed processor delivers ten cores and twenty threads via Hyper-Threading, with a maximum of two CPUs supported by the C610 chipset. If the workload demands more cores per socket or a higher core count without adding a second processor, this server will not meet that requirement.
