DELL PowerEdge R530 2U rack server E5-2650 v3 10C 2.3GHz 48GB DDR4 H730

Dell PowerEdge R530 2U server

The Dell PowerEdge R530 is a 2U rack server built around a single Intel Xeon E5-2650 v3 processor with ten cores running at 2.3 GHz. It ships with 48 GB of DDR4 memory, a Perc H730 RAID controller and two redundant 750 W hot-swap power supplies. Eight 3.5-inch hot-plug drive bays support SAS or SATA hard drives up to a combined 80 TB capacity.

Ideal for dense storage workloads

This server suits organisations that need a compact 2U chassis with room for eight large-form-factor drives and hardware RAID levels 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60. The installed CPU provides 20 virtual threads via hyper-threading, and a second processor socket is available for future expansion. Buyers who require more than 48 GB of memory installed, dual-processor performance from day one, or a GPU for compute workloads should look at other platforms.

Maximum memory is 384 GB

The platform supports up to 384 GB of DDR4 across 12 DIMM slots when both processor sockets are populated, with memory speeds up to 2400 MT/s depending on the CPU. The current configuration uses 48 GB, leaving headroom for growth. The H730 controller delivers 12 Gbps SAS/SATA connectivity and 1 GB of cache for the supported RAID modes.
