DELL PowerEdge T430 5U Rack Server 2x Xeon E5-2650 v4 2.2GHz 12 Core 64GB DDR4 H730P 4x 1.92TB SATA

5U Tower Server with Dual Xeon E5-2650 v4

This Dell PowerEdge T430 is a 5U tower server configured with two Intel Xeon E5-2650 v4 processors, each running at 2.2GHz with 12 cores. It includes 64GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory and a PERC H730P RAID controller with 2GB cache. Four 1.92TB SATA solid-state drives are installed in the 16-bay 2.5-inch chassis. Dual 750W platinum power supplies provide redundancy. The system supports virtualization, database, and file-server workloads.

Who This Suits and Who Should Look Elsewhere

This server suits organisations that need a dual-socket Xeon platform with hardware RAID and hot-swap SATA or SAS drive bays. The installed memory can be expanded to 384GB across 12 slots. Buyers who require more than two processors, more than 16 drive bays, or a different processor family should evaluate other platforms. The tower form factor fits office environments and can be rack-mounted with an optional conversion kit.

Storage Controller and Drive Interface

The PERC H730P controller manages the four installed 1.92TB SATA SSDs and supports RAID levels 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50, and 60 with pass-through mode. It provides 12Gb/s SAS and SATA connectivity for the 16 front-accessible 2.5-inch bays. This specification determines whether the server meets your storage performance and redundancy requirements.
