DELL PowerEdge R530 rack server E5-2650 v3 10-core 2.3GHz 192GB DDR4 H330

Dell PowerEdge R530 2U rack server

This 2U rack server ships with a single Intel Xeon E5-2650 v3 ten-core processor running at 2.3GHz and 192GB of DDR4 memory across twelve DIMM slots. It includes a Dell PERC H330 controller supporting RAID 0, 1, 5, 10, 50 and 60 across eight hot-plug 3.5-inch drive bays. Dual 750W redundant power supplies and iDRAC8 remote management come standard.

Suits virtualisation hosts needing dense memory

The installed 192GB DDR4 configuration hits the processor-supported maximum, so workloads requiring more than 192GB per CPU cannot expand without a processor upgrade. Buyers needing GPU compute or more than five PCIe slots should evaluate other platforms. The Matrox G200 graphics and four 1GbE ports limit high-speed networking or display-heavy roles.

Eight 3.5-inch hot-plug bays with H330 RAID

Storage capacity is defined by the eight 3.5-inch hot-plug bays and the H330 controller’s RAID 0, 1, 5, 10, 50 and 60 support, allowing up to 80TB of raw SAS or SATA storage. This drive-bay count and RAID flexibility determine how much local data the server can hold and protect.
