Dell PowerEdge R530 2U Rack Server

The Dell PowerEdge R530 is a 2U rack server built around a single Intel Xeon E5-2650 V3 ten-core processor running at 2.3 GHz with 16 GB of DDR4 memory. It includes a PERC H730 RAID controller with 1 GB cache supporting RAID levels 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 across eight 3.5-inch hot-plug drive bays. Dual 750 W redundant power supplies and iDRAC8 remote management come standard.

Suits buyers needing dense 3.5-inch storage in 2U

This server fits workloads that prioritise internal capacity, supporting up to 80 TB of SAS or SATA drives managed by the H730 controller. Organisations requiring more than two processor sockets, GPU acceleration, or boot drives using interfaces other than SAS or SATA should consider alternative platforms. The single CPU configuration limits maximum memory to 384 GB across twelve DIMM slots.

Eight 3.5-inch hot-plug bays with H730 RAID

The defining specification is the eight-bay 3.5-inch hot-plug backplane paired with the PERC H730 12 Gbps RAID controller. This combination determines how many drives you can install, which RAID levels are available, and whether the storage performance matches your application. Verify that your drive count, capacity target and RAID requirement align with this layout before purchasing.

Questions about this item

How loud and hot does the R530 get with dual 750W supplies running continuously?

Dual 750W redundant supplies share load, so each runs at lower utilisation; fan speed scales with inlet temperature and CPU load rather than supply count.

Which DDR4 modules must I already have to reach the 384GB maximum?

12 DIMM slots accept 4GB, 8GB, 16GB or 32GB DDR4 up to 2400MT/s; populate all slots with 32GB modules to reach 384GB.

Will my existing 3.5" SAS drives work in the 8-bay backplane with the H730 controller?

Yes — the backplane supports 3.5" SAS or SATA and the H730 handles RAID 0/1/5/6/10/50/60 across all eight bays.
