Product Identity

The Dell PowerEdge R530 is a 2U rack server built around a single Intel Xeon E5-2603 V3 six-core processor running at 1.6 GHz. It ships with 8 GB of DDR4 memory, a Perc H730 RAID controller with 1 GB cache, and two 750 W redundant power supplies. Eight 3.5-inch hot-plug drive bays support SAS or SATA drives up to 80 TB total capacity. The system includes iDRAC8 remote management and a Matrox G200 video adapter.

Target Audience

This server suits organisations that need a compact rack platform for virtualisation, file serving, or database workloads using traditional spinning disks or SATA SSDs. The twelve DIMM slots allow memory expansion to 384 GB when a second processor is added. Buyers who require a second processor installed, more than eight drive bays, or a pre-loaded operating system should look elsewhere.

Deciding Specification

The Perc H730 controller provides hardware RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 with 12 Gbps SAS connectivity, which determines whether the storage performance and data protection meet the application requirements.

Questions about this item

Will the DDR4 memory need replacing if I want more than 8 GB?

The board has 12 DDR4 DIMM slots supporting 4 GB, 8 GB, 16 GB or 32 GB modules up to 2400 MT/s, so you can expand to 384 GB by adding compatible sticks.

What limits sustained throughput on the PERC H730 controller?

The H730 uses a 12 Gbps SAS/SATA link and 1 GB cache; sustained write speed will hit the controller cache or drive media limit first.

How loud and hot does the 2U chassis get with both 750 W supplies running 24/7?

Dual redundant 750 W supplies and eight 3.5-inch drive bays mean fan speed rises under load; expect noticeable airflow noise and warm exhaust in a closed rack.
