Dense 10-bay compute node
The Dell PowerEdge R630 fits 10 x 2.5-inch drives in a 1U rack chassis with a single Xeon E5-2697 v3 at 2.6 GHz and 384 GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory. A PERC H730 SAS controller handles RAID duties while dual 495 W supplies power the platform. Integrated graphics and iDRAC8 Enterprise remote management come standard.
Ideal for memory-heavy virtualisation
This configuration suits teams that need large RAM capacity for dense VM hosting, in-memory databases or container clusters but can start with one 14-core processor and add a second CPU later. Buyers who require two processors from day one or who need more than 10 drive bays should evaluate other platforms.
Single-socket headroom
Only one of the two possible sockets is populated, leaving the second socket free for a matching Xeon E5-2697 v3 when workloads outgrow the current 14 cores and 35 MB cache.

Questions about this item
Should I choose the 10-bay 2.5" chassis or a different drive count for the R630?
The 10-bay 2.5" chassis fits up to ten drives and suits dense storage needs; other R630 chassis offer fewer bays for lighter capacity requirements.
What does the 2.6 GHz Xeon E5-2697 v3 with 14 cores and 35 MB cache deliver in a live workload?
Fourteen cores at 2.6 GHz with 35 MB cache handle parallel tasks such as virtualisation and database queries, while the 384 GB DDR4 ECC memory keeps large data sets in RAM.
How does the PERC H730 SAS controller and SATA interface limit real-world drive speed?
The PERC H730 SAS controller manages RAID across SATA drives, so throughput is capped by the SATA link rather than the controller's SAS capability.
