DELL PowerEdge R630 1U rack server 2x E5-2620 V3 48GB DDR4 2x 1TB H330

Dense 1U compute platform

The Dell PowerEdge R630 packs two Xeon E5-2620 V3 processors and 48GB of DDR4 into a single rack unit. Eight hot-plug 2.5-inch bays sit behind a PERC H330 controller that supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 10, 50 and 60. Dual 750W redundant supplies keep the node running through a power-module failure.

Sustained multi-thread throughput

Each Xeon delivers six cores at 2.4GHz with Hyper-Threading, giving 24 logical threads that hold clock speed under continuous load because the 1U chassis moves high-volume airflow across both sockets. The H330’s 12Gbps SAS link feeds the two 1TB 7.2K SATA drives without creating a controller bottleneck during extended write sequences.

Replaces older 2U dual-socket nodes

Organisations consolidating legacy 2U servers gain rack density and power efficiency while keeping full PCIe 3.0 expansion via three slots plus a dedicated PERC slot. The jump makes sense when workloads fit within 48GB of memory and 2TB of spinning storage; buyers who need larger memory footprints or all-flash arrays should look elsewhere.
