DELL PowerEdge T330 Tower Server E3-1240 V6 3.7GHz 64GB DDR4 2x 2TB SAS H330

Tower Server for Small Business Workloads

The Dell PowerEdge T330 is a 5U tower server built around a single Intel Xeon E3-1240 V6 quad-core processor running at 3.7 GHz with Hyper-Threading. It ships with 64 GB of DDR4 ECC memory across four DIMM slots and two 2 TB 7.2 K SAS drives managed by a PERC H330 RAID controller. Dual 495 W hot-swap power supplies and iDRAC8 remote management come standard.

Upgrade from Entry-Level or Workstation Gear

This system replaces a basic tower workstation or an older single-socket server when you need hardware RAID 0, 1, 5, 10, 50 or 60 and hot-plug drive bays. The jump makes sense when uptime matters enough to justify redundant power and out-of-band management, but the workload still fits inside one CPU and the 64 GB memory ceiling. Buyers who need more than four PCIe 3.0 slots or multiple processors should look elsewhere.

Steady-State Behaviour Under Load

With two 495 W supplies sharing the load, the platform sustains the 3.7 GHz base clock without throttling during extended compute or storage tasks. The H330 controller maintains consistent throughput across the supported RAID levels while the integrated dual-port 1 GbE LOM handles sustained network traffic. Memory runs at up to 2400 MT/s ECC unbuffered, limited by the installed CPU capability.
