Dell VRTX 5U rack server

This Dell VRTX rack server occupies 5U and contains two M630 blade modules. Each blade runs a pair of Intel E5-2670v3 processors at 2.3GHz with 12 cores and 30M cache. The system ships with 128GB DDR4 memory across eight 16GB modules and twelve 12TB 7.2K SAS drives managed by an S130 controller. Four 1600W redundant power supplies and a single CMC complete the chassis.

Suits dense storage and virtualisation

The 12-bay 3.5" chassis and dual 12-core blades suit workloads that need high capacity SAS storage and moderate compute density in a single rack unit. Eight flexible PCIe slots (three full-height, five low-profile) allow RAID, networking or HBA expansion. Buyers who need GPU acceleration or more than two blade modules should evaluate alternative platforms. The 1Gb switch module limits east-west throughput for heavy clustering.

Storage controller decides fit

The single S130 RAID controller manages all twelve 12TB SAS drives and defines the RAID levels and performance available. If the workload requires a hardware RAID engine with cache or support for mixed drive types, the S130 specification is the deciding factor.
