DELL PowerEdge R630 10SFF 2×Xeon E5-2660v4 256GB DDR4 No Drive

Rack server with ten 2.5-inch bays

The Dell PowerEdge R630 fits into a standard 1U rack space and provides ten small-form-factor drive bays for dense storage configurations. Two Intel Xeon E5-2660v4 processors deliver twenty-eight cores in total, supported by 256 GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory. This system targets virtualisation hosts, database nodes and compute clusters that need high core counts and flexible local storage in a single rack unit.

Dual fourteen-core CPUs under load

Each Xeon runs at 2 GHz base frequency with fourteen cores and 35 MB cache, so sustained multi-threaded workloads spread across twenty-eight threads without relying on short turbo bursts. The PERC H730 SAS controller manages RAID across the drive bays, keeping storage latency predictable during continuous read and write streams. Dual 495 W power supplies share the load, providing redundancy while the platform runs at full capacity for extended periods.

DDR4 memory ceiling and SAS interface

Memory slots accept DDR4 modules up to a total of 1.5 TB, limiting expansion to that capacity and generation. The storage controller uses SAS signalling to the backplane while the installed drives communicate over SATA, so the interface speed is bounded by the SATA link rather than the SAS controller maximum. Remote management runs through iDRAC8 Enterprise, giving out-of-band control without consuming a host network port.
