Product Identity

The Dell PowerEdge R530 is a 2U rack server equipped with a single Intel Xeon E5-2650 V3 ten-core processor running at 2.3 GHz. It ships with 96 GB of DDR4 memory across twelve DIMM slots and a PERC H330 RAID controller supporting SAS and SATA drives. Dual 750 W redundant power supplies and iDRAC8 remote management complete the platform.

Ideal Use Cases

This configuration suits organisations deploying virtualisation hosts, database nodes or application servers that benefit from ten physical cores and twenty threads. The eight 3.5-inch hot-plug bays and RAID 0, 1, 5, 10, 50 and 60 support provide flexible local storage. Buyers who require two processors installed immediately, memory beyond 96 GB, or a different drive form factor should evaluate alternative systems.

Deciding Specification

The installed memory reaches the processor-limited maximum of 96 GB, so the system cannot accept additional DDR4 modules without a CPU upgrade. This ceiling determines whether the server fits workloads that need more memory per socket.

Questions about this item

Should I pick the single E5-2650 V3 or add a second processor for my workload?

The server ships with one 10-core 2.3GHz Xeon and supports a second identical CPU, doubling cores to 20 and raising the memory ceiling to 384GB across all 12 DIMM slots.

What does the 96GB DDR4 figure mean for actual memory speed once the server is running?

The installed 96GB runs as DDR4; the E5-2650 V3 memory controller caps the data rate at 2400 MT/s, so modules operate at that speed regardless of higher-rated sticks.

How does the H330 12Gbps RAID controller limit drive performance in practice?

The H330 handles 12Gbps SAS and SATA links and supports RAID 0/1/5/10/50/60, but it has no write-back cache, so sustained write throughput is bound by the physical disks rather than the controller bus.
