DELL PowerEdge R530 2U Rack Server E5-2650 V3 10C 2.3GHz 128GB 2x 2TB SAS H730

Dell PowerEdge R530 2U rack server

The Dell PowerEdge R530 is a 2U rack server built around a single Intel Xeon E5-2650 V3 ten-core processor running at 2.3 GHz. It ships with 128 GB of DDR4 memory across twelve DIMM slots and includes two 2 TB 7.2K SAS drives managed by a PERC H730 RAID controller. Dual 750 W redundant power supplies and eight hot-plug 3.5-inch drive bays complete the baseline configuration.

Suited for dense virtualisation

This configuration suits teams that need moderate core density and up to 80 TB of raw SAS capacity in a compact 2U form factor. The single-socket layout limits maximum memory to 128 GB and leaves one processor socket unpopulated, so buyers who require dual-socket performance or more than twelve DIMM slots should consider a different platform.

Sustained operation with redundant power and cooling

Under continuous load the dual 750 W redundant power supplies share the load and maintain uptime if one unit fails. The PERC H730 controller with 1 GB cache sustains RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 arrays without write-performance drops during rebuilds. Four onboard 1 GbE ports and iDRAC8 remote management keep the server reachable for monitoring and firmware updates during extended production runs.
