The PowerEdge R210 also features a slimline optical disk drive. Several other optional storage controllers are available. Using optional PERC raid controllers, like the PERC H800, the system will support SAS and SATA HDD and SSD drives with 6Gb/s transfer speeds. The embedded PERC S100 is a software HD controller and supports SATA only. The Dell R210 can host a maximum of two 3.5-inch or 2.5-inch HDD or SSD drives.

Powering the system and components is a single non-redundant 250W 80+ Bronze rated power supply. Administrators can choose from either a single quad-core Xeon 3400 series processor, a dual-core Intel Celeron CPU, a dual-core Pentium CPU, or a dual-core Core i3 500 series processor. Intel's 3420 chipset supports several different processors. It has the smallest footprint of any of Dell's 11th generation PowerEdge servers and still delivers a flexible, secure system that's easy to manage using Dell's integrated management tools. Great for use in a small business, or as a specialized application server for a large corporation, the Dell PowerEdge R210 server is very affordable and offers the performance and manageability that Dell is known for.
