Server identity

The Dell PowerEdge R530 is a 2U rack server equipped with a single Intel Xeon E5-2650 v3 processor. The ten-core CPU runs at 2.3 GHz and provides 20 threads through hyper-threading. Sixteen gigabytes of DDR4 memory are installed across twelve DIMM slots, and the system includes a PERC H330 RAID controller supporting RAID 0, 1, 5, 10, 50 and 60. Dual 750 W redundant power supplies and a DVD-ROM drive complete the base configuration.

Fit and limits

This server suits buyers who need a compact 2U platform with hot-plug 3.5-inch drive bays and hardware RAID for traditional SAS or SATA workloads. It also fits environments that rely on iDRAC8 remote management and up to five PCIe expansion slots. Builders who require more than 16 GB of memory from the factory, more than one processor installed, or GPU compute capability should evaluate other platforms.

Deciding specification

The PERC H330 controller determines which drive types and RAID levels are available, making it the single specification that decides whether this is the right part. It handles SAS and SATA devices at 12 Gbps and offers RAID 0, 1, 5, 10, 50 and 60 without additional licensing.
