5U Rack Server with Twelve Drive Bays

This 5U Dell VRTX chassis holds two M630 blades and twelve 3.5-inch drives in a single enclosure. It targets IT teams that want blade density without a separate storage array. Each blade runs dual eight-core Intel processors at 2.4 GHz with 128 GB of DDR4 memory. The system arrives new with firmware updated and all components tested.

Eight PCIe Slots and Integrated Switching

Eight flexible PCIe slots (three full-height, five low-profile) sit inside the chassis for additional networking or acceleration cards. A built-in 1 Gb switch module connects the blades internally, reducing external cabling. Four redundant 1600 W power supplies feed the whole enclosure. The single S130 RAID controller manages the twelve installed 12 TB 7.2K SAS drives. iDRAC8 Express provides remote management over a dedicated port.

Sustained Workloads Across Dual Blades

Dual eight-core CPUs and 128 GB of DDR4 per blade deliver steady throughput for virtualisation hosts or database clusters. The twelve 7.2K SAS drives supply large sequential capacity for bulk data workloads. Redundant power and a single chassis management controller keep both blades running during module failures. Buyers needing higher spindle speeds or all-flash arrays should evaluate other configurations.
