DELL PowerEdge T320 E5-2450 2.1GHz 32GB DDR3 8x 3.5" Hot Plug H310 2x 495W rack server

Tower server with eight drive bays

This Dell PowerEdge T320 is a tower server built around a single Intel Xeon E5-2450 eight-core processor running at 2.1GHz. It comes with 32GB of DDR3 memory installed across six DIMM slots and includes a Dell Perc H310 RAID controller supporting RAID 0, 1, 5, 10, 50 and 60. The chassis provides up to eight 3.5-inch hot-plug bays for SATA or SAS drives and two 495W redundant power supplies.

Suits small business workloads and home labs

This configuration suits small business workloads, virtualization hosts or home labs that need internal storage density in a tower form factor. The eight drive bays and hardware RAID controller support local redundancy and capacity. Buyers who need more than 32GB of memory cannot expand further because the installed amount already matches the listed maximum capacity. Organisations requiring rack-mount hardware or GPU compute should look at a different platform.

Maximum memory capped at 32GB

The specification lists a maximum memory capacity of 32GB, which is already populated. This limit is the single constraint that decides whether the server fits a given role; workloads that demand larger memory footprints will need a different system. The six DIMM slots accept DDR3 modules up to 1600MT/s, but the ceiling cannot be raised beyond the factory maximum.
