2U rack server for small-scale virtualisation

The Dell PowerEdge R530 fits a 2U rack space and ships with dual Xeon E5-2603 v3 processors, 96GB of DDR4 memory and two 300GB 15K SAS drives. It targets teams that need a dense, entry-level platform for light virtualisation or file serving without a full-height chassis.

Eight 3.5-inch hot-plug drive bays with H330 RAID

The chassis accepts up to eight 3.5-inch SAS or SATA drives served by a Perc H330 controller supporting RAID 0, 1, 5, 10, 50 and 60. Maximum raw capacity reaches 80TB, so storage growth stays inside the same enclosure.

Dual 750W redundant supplies sustain continuous

Two hot-swap 750W power supplies share the load, keeping the server running if one unit fails. The 96GB memory ceiling matches the installed configuration, so sustained workloads remain within the validated memory limit without further expansion.

Questions about this item

What real-world throughput can I expect from the dual 1.6 GHz six-core Xeon CPUs?

The two E5-2603 v3 processors provide twelve cores at a fixed 1.6 GHz, suited for steady multi-threaded workloads such as virtualisation hosts, file serving or batch processing where sustained throughput matters more than burst frequency.

What does the H330 12 Gbps RAID controller limit in practice?

The H330 caps each drive at 12 Gbps SAS and supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 10, 50 and 60, so the installed 300 GB 15 K SAS drives and any additional 3.5-inch SAS or SATA drives will run at their native link speed.

How deep is the chassis and what clearance do the redundant power supplies need?

The server is 25.4 inches deep; the dual 750 W redundant power supplies sit at the rear, so plan for extra space behind the rack for cables and airflow.
