2U rack server for dense storage workloads

The Dell PowerEdge R530 fits eight 3.5-inch hot-plug bays into a 2U chassis, giving capacity-focused teams room for large SAS or SATA datasets. Dual Xeon E5-2630 V3 processors supply 16 physical cores and 32 threads at 2.4 GHz. Pre-loaded with 48 GB of DDR4 across 12 DIMM slots, the platform tops out at 384 GB when fully populated.

Eight-bay hot-plug chassis with H730 RAID

The single specification that decides fit is the eight-bay 3.5-inch hot-plug backplane paired with the Perc H730 controller supporting RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60. Two 2 TB 7.2 K SAS drives ship installed, leaving six bays open for expansion up to 80 TB raw. The H730 adds 1 GB cache and 12 Gbps SAS throughput for parity-heavy arrays.

Redundant power and remote management under load

Dual 750 W redundant supplies keep the server running during a single-unit failure, while iDRAC8 with Lifecycle Controller provides out-of-band monitoring and firmware updates without host OS involvement. Four 1 GbE ports on a daughter card handle sustained network traffic, and five PCIe slots (three 3.0, two 2.0) accept additional NICs or HBAs for long-running workloads.

Questions about this item

How does the dual E5-2630 V3 at 2.4 GHz perform in a live workload?

Two eight-core Xeon E5-2630 V3 CPUs deliver 16 physical cores and 32 threads at 2.4 GHz, giving strong multi-threaded throughput for virtualization, databases and compute tasks.

What does the H730 12 Gbps RAID controller limit in practice?

The H730 supports RAID 0/1/5/6/10/50/60 at 12 Gbps SAS, so drive count and RAID level set the real-world IOPS and capacity ceiling.

What physical space and mounting does the 2U chassis require?

The server measures 25.4" deep, 17.1" wide and 3.4" high (2U), weighs 62 lbs, and fits standard racks using the included rail kit.
