DELL E5-2650 PowerEdge R530 2U rack server dual Xeon 10C 2.3GHz 32GB DDR4 3x 4TB SAS H330

2U Rack Server with Dual Xeon 10-Core CPUs

This Dell PowerEdge R530 is a 2U rack-mount server system built around two Intel Xeon E5-2650 v3 processors, each delivering ten cores at 2.3 GHz for a total of 40 threads with hyper-threading. It ships with 32 GB of DDR4 memory installed across 12 DIMM slots and includes three 4 TB 7.2K SAS hard drives managed by a PERC H330 RAID controller supporting RAID 0, 1, 5, 10, 50 and 60. Dual 750 W hot-swap power supplies provide redundancy.

Suited for multi-threaded workloads

The dual-socket design and 12 memory slots make this platform appropriate for virtualisation hosts, database servers or backup targets that benefit from many threads and up to 80 TB of raw SAS capacity across eight 3.5-inch hot-plug bays. Buyers who need more than 32 GB of memory from day one, require more than five PCIe expansion slots or want a single-socket platform with lower power draw should evaluate other form factors.

Memory ceiling fixed at 32 GB by the installed

Although the chipset supports up to 384 GB of DDR4 across 12 slots, this unit arrives with 32 GB already populated and no further capacity unless additional modules are purchased separately. That limit determines whether the server can handle the intended virtual machine density or in-memory dataset size without an immediate memory upgrade.
