Four-socket Xeon server

The Dell PowerEdge R930 is a 4U rack server equipped with four Intel Xeon E7-8891 v4 processors, each running at 2.8 GHz with 10 cores. It ships with 3 TB of DDR4 memory across 96 slots and 24 SATA SSDs of 960 GB each. The system targets enterprises that need maximum CPU cores and memory capacity in a single chassis.

24-bay storage limit

The chassis accepts up to 24 hot-plug 2.5-inch SATA or SAS drives, all connected to the PERC H330 controller which supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 10 and 50. The controller provides 12 Gb/s SAS and SATA connectivity. Front-accessible NVMe PCIe SSDs are supported on other configurations but not included here.

12 TB memory ceiling

Installed memory sits at 3 TB using 96 modules of 32 GB DDR4, leaving headroom to reach the platform maximum of 12 TB. Four processor sockets are fully populated, so no further CPU expansion is possible. Buyers who need more than 12 TB of RAM or more than 96 cores must look at multi-node clusters.

Questions about this item

Should I pick the four 960 GB SSDs or the 24 960 GB SSDs listed in the specifications?

The specification shows 24 x 960 GB SATA SSDs installed; the four-drive figure refers to the front-bay count in the summary.

How does the 2.8 GHz base clock behave when the Xeon E7-8891 v4 CPUs hit their 3.5 GHz turbo?

Each 10-core processor runs at 2.8 GHz normally and can boost to 3.5 GHz when thermal headroom allows, giving higher single-thread speed for burst workloads.

What does the PERC H330 12 Gb/s SAS/SATA controller cap in real use?

The H330 supports 12 Gb/s SAS and 6 Gb/s SATA links, so the 24 installed SATA SSDs are limited to 6 Gb/s each while SAS devices could reach 12 Gb/s.
