DELL PowerEdge T430 5U Rack Server 2x Xeon E5-2660 v4 2.0GHz 14 Core 64GB DDR4 8x 2.5" Trays

Dell PowerEdge T430 5U dual Xeon server

The Dell PowerEdge T430 is a 5U tower server that supports dual Intel Xeon E5-2660 v4 processors, each running at 2.0 GHz with a 3.2 GHz turbo frequency. It ships with 64 GB of DDR4-2400 ECC registered memory installed across four slots and includes a Dell PERC HBA330 12 Gb/s SAS/SATA storage controller. Eight 2.5-inch hot-swap drive trays are provided in a chassis that can accommodate up to sixteen drives.

Ideal for virtualization and database workloads

This configuration suits organisations deploying VMware ESXi, Microsoft Hyper-V or Proxmox VE clusters, as well as Microsoft SQL Server and general business-application hosting. The dual 14-core CPUs and 384 GB maximum memory capacity provide headroom for consolidated workloads. Buyers who need higher single-thread speeds, greater core counts per socket or GPU-accelerated compute should evaluate alternative platforms.

Storage capacity defined by sixteen 2.5-inch bays

The chassis supports up to sixteen 2.5-inch SAS, SATA or SSD drives, making the total raw storage potential the key specification for capacity planning. The included HBA330 controller handles SAS and SATA protocols without onboard RAID processing. Redundant 750 W platinum power supplies and iDRAC 8 Express remote management are also fitted.
