1U rack server for single-socket workloads
The Dell PowerEdge R330 fits a single Intel Xeon E3-1220v5 quad-core processor running at 3 GHz. It ships with 32 GB of DDR4 memory installed across four DIMM slots and includes two 2 TB 7.2K SAS drives managed by a PERC H730 RAID controller. Dual 350 W redundant hot-swap power supplies keep the system running if one unit fails.
Sustained load with H730 RAID and redundant power
The PERC H730 controller with 1 GB cache supports RAID levels 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60, allowing the two 2 TB SAS drives to operate in a protected array during continuous read and write cycles. Redundant 350 W power supplies share the load evenly and maintain operation if one supply is removed or fails. Memory runs at speeds up to 2400 MT/s depending on the processor, providing stable throughput for database or virtualisation tasks that run for hours.
Installation notes and common issues
The 1U chassis mounts in a standard rack using rails that are not included in the shipment. Four hot-plug 3.5-inch drive bays allow drive changes without tools, but the system only supports a single processor so a second CPU cannot be added later. Maximum memory capacity is listed as 32 GB in the specification sheet, so the installed 32 GB already fills the supported limit. iDRAC8 Express provides remote management out of the box; Enterprise features require a separate licence upgrade.

Questions about this item
How much power do the dual 350W redundant supplies draw when the server runs continuously?
The system includes two 350W hot-swap power supplies in a redundant configuration; each supply is rated at 350W maximum output.
Which rails or brackets are required to mount this 1U chassis in a standard rack?
A rail kit is not included with the server; you must supply compatible 1U sliding rails for a 17.09-inch wide chassis.
Can the PERC H730 controller also manage SATA drives already installed in the rack?
The H730 12Gbps RAID controller supports both SAS and SATA drives across the four 3.5-inch hot-plug bays.
