Tower server for small-business workloads

The Dell PowerEdge T320 is a single-socket tower server built around an Intel Xeon E5-2420 six-core processor running at 1.9 GHz with twelve threads. It ships with 48 GB of DDR3 memory across six DIMM slots and a PERC H310 controller supporting RAID 0, 1, 5, 10, 50 and 60. Eight hot-plug 3.5-inch bays accept SATA or SAS drives for up to 64 TB of raw capacity.

Sustained load behaviour

Dual 495 W redundant power supplies keep the system running if one unit fails, which helps maintain uptime during continuous operation. The Xeon E5-2420 has a modest thermal envelope so the tower chassis can dissipate heat without aggressive fan speeds under typical multi-threaded workloads. Memory bandwidth scales with the processor's integrated controller and the installed DDR3 modules.

Installation and common issues

The tower form factor fits on a desk or shelf and provides tool-less access to drive bays, memory slots and five PCIe expansion slots. No drive trays or hard drives are included, so buyers must source compatible 3.5-inch SATA or SAS drives and caddies. The H310 controller does not support JBOD mode, which can complicate software-defined storage configurations. Maximum memory is limited to 48 GB with this processor.

Questions about this item

How loud and hot does the T320 get when both 495W power supplies run continuously?

The tower chassis uses two redundant 495W supplies and a single E5-2420 processor; fan speed scales with load, so sustained operation stays within Dell's thermal limits for the C600 chipset.

What drives and cables must I already have to populate the 8 x 3.5" hot-plug bays?

The bays accept 3.5" SATA or SAS drives; no trays or drives are included, so you need compatible drives and the carrier trays that latch into the hot-plug backplane.

Will the H310 controller and PCIe 3.0 x16 slot work with an older PCIe 2.0 RAID card I want to keep?

The H310 provides 6Gbps SAS/SATA RAID 0/1/5/10/50/60, and the x16 slot is PCIe 3.0; a PCIe 2.0 card will negotiate down to 2.0 speeds and function normally.
