DELL PowerEdge R430 1U rack server E5-2650 v3 10C 2.3GHz 24GB DDR4 3x 1TB SATA H330

1U rack server for density-focused deployments

The Dell PowerEdge R430 fits a single Intel Xeon E5-2650 v3 ten-core processor running at 2.3 GHz with 24 GB of DDR4 memory into a 1U chassis. It targets buyers who need a compact rack-mount platform for virtualisation, lightweight databases or edge workloads where rack space is at a premium. The system ships with a 550 W redundant power supply and four 1 GbE ports for basic connectivity.

24 GB DDR4 with 12 DIMM slots and 384 GB ceiling

Installed memory is 24 GB across twelve slots, six per processor, using DDR4 modules up to 2400 MT/s. The chipset supports a maximum of 384 GB, so the current configuration leaves substantial headroom for growth. Storage starts with three 1 TB 7.2K 2.5-inch SATA drives managed by the H330 controller, which offers RAID 0, 1, 5, 10, 50 and 60 across up to eight hot-plug bays with a 16 TB aggregate limit.

H330 RAID controller and iDRAC8 remote management

The bundled PERC H330 12 Gbps RAID controller handles the three installed drives and any future SAS or SATA additions without a separate card. iDRAC8 Express provides out-of-band management with lifecycle controller firmware updates, while Enterprise licensing and vFlash media remain optional upgrades. Two PCIe 3.0 slots and a DVD-ROM drive complete the factory configuration; buyers needing GPU acceleration or additional network adapters must plan around the single-processor layout.
