DELL PowerEdge T430 rack server 2x Xeon E5-2695 v4 2.1GHz 18-core 256GB DDR4 8x 4TB SAS H730

Built for office workloads

The Dell PowerEdge T430 is a tower server designed for small offices and remote sites. It runs workgroup collaboration, mail, file, print and web serving tasks. Two Intel Xeon E5-2695 v4 processors provide 18 cores each at 2.1 GHz with 3.3 GHz turbo. The system includes 256 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory across 12 slots, with a 384 GB maximum.

Suits single-server deployments

This configuration fits buyers who need one chassis with integrated storage and remote management. The PERC H730 controller supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 across eight 3.5-inch SAS drives. Dual 750 W platinum power supplies add redundancy. iDRAC 8 Express handles out-of-band monitoring. Buyers who want more internal bays, a rack form factor or a different controller should look at other models.

Eight 4 TB SAS drives decide capacity

The server ships with eight enterprise 4 TB 7.2 K SAS hard drives installed. That yields 32 TB of raw storage before RAID overhead. The H730 controller manages the array with a 1 GB cache and battery backup. If your project requires solid-state media, larger SAS disks or a different drive count, this unit will not match the requirement.
