Dell PowerEdge R530 2U server

The Dell PowerEdge R530 is a 2U rack server built around dual Intel Xeon E5-2603 V3 six-core processors running at 1.6GHz. It ships with 32GB of DDR4 memory across 12 DIMM slots and includes a PERC H730 RAID controller with 1GB cache supporting RAID 0/1/5/6/10/50/60. Two hot-swap 750W redundant power supplies and a DVD-ROM drive complete the base configuration.

Suited for storage-heavy workloads

This server suits IT teams that need up to eight 3.5-inch hot-plug SAS or SATA drives for large-capacity arrays. The 12 DIMM slots allow memory expansion to 384GB, and five PCIe slots (three 3.0, two 2.0) provide room for additional controllers or networking cards. Buyers who require GPU compute, more than two processors or boot drives beyond SAS and SATA should consider other platforms.

PERC H730 RAID controller decides fit

The PERC H730 12Gbps controller is the single specification that determines whether this system matches your storage plan. It manages up to 80TB of raw capacity across the eight drive bays and delivers hardware RAID 0/1/5/6/10/50/60 with 1GB of dedicated cache. If your deployment relies on this controller feature set, the R530 is the right part.
