2U rack server for dense compute

The Dell PowerEdge R530 fits in 2U of rack space and ships with a single ten-core Xeon E5-2650 V3 at 2.3 GHz and 24 GB of DDR4. Two 300 GB 15K SAS drives and a Perc H730 RAID controller provide fast local storage. Dual 750 W redundant power supplies keep the system running if one unit fails.

Storage ceiling and PCIe limits

Eight 3.5-inch hot-plug bays accept SAS or SATA drives up to a combined 80 TB. The H730 controller supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60. Five PCIe slots are available: three at 3.0 and two at 2.0, so newer add-in cards may run at reduced bandwidth on the older lanes.

Built for continuous operation

Hot-swap power supplies and drive bays let technicians replace components without shutting down. Four 1 GbE ports on a daughter card handle baseline networking. iDRAC8 with Lifecycle Controller gives remote console, power control and firmware updates over a dedicated management port. A DVD-ROM and rails are included.

Questions about this item

Should I choose the single E5-2650 V3 or add a second processor?

The board supports up to two CPUs and twelve DDR4 DIMM slots, six per processor. Adding the second Xeon unlocks the remaining six slots and raises the memory ceiling to 384 GB.

What does the 2.3 GHz ten-core CPU deliver in a live workload?

Ten physical cores at 2.3 GHz with hyper-threading give 20 logical threads, suited for virtualization, database or multi-threaded application tiers.

How does the H730 12 Gbps SAS controller limit drive performance?

The H730 caps each SAS lane at 12 Gbps and supports RAID 0/1/5/6/10/50/60 across up to eight 3.5" hot-plug bays.
