Here the Dell PowerEdge R930 4U rack server comes with four Intel Xeon E7-8890 v3 processors (18 cores each, 2.50GHz base clock) alongside 256GB of DDR4. The drive complement is eight 800GB SATA SSDs, 6.4TB before RAID in eight bays of the 24-bay 2.5-inch chassis, so 16 remain open for expansion.
Supporting hardware includes PERC H730P hardware RAID (2GB cache), 2 × 1GbE RJ45 + 2 × 10GbE SFP+ networking (Broadcom 57800S) and four 1100W power supplies. You also get an iDRAC8 Enterprise licence for out-of-band management and a rack rail kit.
This is the kind of build that suits database servers and virtualisation hosts where storage latency, not capacity, sets the pace. RAID 10 across the eight drives would keep four drives' worth of space while mirroring every write.
That is twice the memory of a lighter R930 build, which matters most for virtual machines and caching. Raw capacity is higher than in the smaller R930 builds.
Sold as certified refurbished, the server passes inspection and a bench test, and has its storage wiped, in Johannesburg before release.
