Dell PowerEdge M630 Blade 2x Xeon E5-2680v4 256GB DDR4 2x 1.8TB SAS

Dell PowerEdge M630 blade server

The Dell PowerEdge M630 is a blade server equipped with two Intel Xeon E5-2680v4 processors running at 2.4 GHz, each providing 14 cores and 35 MB cache. It comes with 256 GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory installed and can support up to 512 GB. Storage is handled by a PERC H330 SAS controller with two 1.8 TB SAS hard drives in 2.5-inch bays. Remote management is provided by iDRAC8 Enterprise.

Suited for dense compute clusters.

This configuration suits buyers who need high core counts and large memory capacity in a compact blade form factor for virtualisation or database tasks. The integrated graphics and lack of dedicated GPU support mean it is not for buyers who require hardware acceleration for rendering, AI training or visual computing workloads. The two-drive limit also makes it unsuitable for users who need large local storage arrays.

Two 1.8 TB SAS drives on PERC H330

The server includes exactly two 1.8 TB SAS hard drives connected to the PERC H330 RAID controller, which determines the available RAID levels and total raw capacity. Buyers who need more than two drives, solid-state storage or a different RAID feature set should look at a different configuration.
