DELL PowerEdge T430 5U rack server 2x Xeon E5-2650 v4 2.2GHz 12-core 16GB DDR4 8x 4TB SATA H730

Dell PowerEdge T430 5U server

This Dell PowerEdge T430 is a 5U rack-mount server system built for office workloads. It ships with two Intel Xeon E5-2650 v4 processors, each running at 2.2 GHz with a 2.9 GHz turbo frequency and twelve cores. The system includes 16 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory and a Dell PERC H730 storage controller with 1 GB cache. Eight 4 TB 7.2K SATA hard drives are installed in the 3.5-inch drive bays.

Suited for small-office file, print, and web serving

The configuration fits small offices and remote branches needing a single server for collaboration, mail, file and print, or web serving. Integrated dual-port 1 GbE networking and iDRAC 8 Express remote management support daily administration. Buyers who need more memory capacity than 16 GB or additional drive bays beyond the eight provided should evaluate larger platforms. Workloads requiring faster storage interfaces than SATA or higher core counts per socket are not addressed by this specification.

PERC H730 controller with RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50.

The Dell PERC H730 1 GB controller manages the eight SATA drives and supports RAID levels 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50, and 60 plus pass-through mode. This determines the data protection and performance profile available for the installed 4 TB drives. The controller uses a battery-backed cache to preserve write data during power loss. Memory expansion up to 384 GB across twelve slots is possible for future growth.
