Server purpose

The Dell PowerEdge R530 is a 2U rack server built for businesses that need a compact system with redundant power and integrated RAID. It ships with two Xeon E5-2603 V3 processors, 48GB of DDR4 memory and two 300GB 15K SAS drives.

Interface limits

The H730 controller supports SAS and SATA drives across eight hot-plug bays and handles RAID levels 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60. Memory runs at up to 2400MT/s depending on the installed processors and the system maxes out at 48GB with the current configuration.

Deciding spec

The installed memory ceiling is 48GB across twelve DIMM slots, so this unit suits workloads that fit inside that limit; buyers who want more storage capacity or higher memory headroom will need a different platform.

Questions about this item

Should I pick the 300 GB 15K SAS drives or add more bays up to the 8-bay limit?

The server ships with two 300 GB 15K SAS drives in an 8-bay 3.5" hot-plug chassis; you can populate the remaining six bays with additional SAS or SATA drives to reach the 80 TB raw maximum.

What does the dual E5-2603 V3 1.6 GHz configuration deliver in this 2U box?

Two six-core Xeon processors at 1.6 GHz provide 12 total cores and 48 GB of DDR4 across 12 DIMM slots, giving a balanced compute-to-memory ratio for virtualisation or database workloads.

How does the H730 12 Gbps RAID controller affect usable throughput?

The PERC H730 with 1 GB cache supports RAID 0/1/5/6/10/50/60 at 12 Gbps SAS, so drive arrays are limited by the 6 Gbps SAS drives installed rather than the controller itself.
