DELL PowerEdge T430 5U 16-Bay 2x Xeon E5-2695 v4 2.1GHz 18C 128GB DDR4 H730P 8 Trays

Enterprise 5U Tower Server

The Dell PowerEdge T430 is a 5U tower server built for businesses that need flexible storage and room to grow. It ships with two Intel Xeon E5-2695 v4 processors running at 2.1 GHz with a 3.3 GHz turbo frequency and 128 GB of DDR4-2400 ECC registered memory across twelve slots. A PERC H730P RAID controller with 2 GB cache manages up to sixteen 2.5-inch hot-swap drive bays, while dual 750 W platinum power supplies and iDRAC 8 Express remote management provide redundancy and oversight.

Suited For Virtualization And Database Hosts

This configuration suits teams running VMware ESXi, Microsoft Hyper-V, or Proxmox VE clusters, as well as Microsoft SQL Server deployments and file or print services. The sixteen-bay chassis and dual-socket design also fit software-defined storage and private cloud infrastructure projects. Buyers who need front bezel or ready rails included, or who require a different drive bay count or form factor, should look at other models.

Dual E5-2695 v4 CPUs With 18 Cores Each

The two installed E5-2695 v4 processors each provide 18 cores at 2.1 GHz base clock and 3.3 GHz turbo, delivering the multi-threaded throughput that determines whether this server matches the workload. Memory can be expanded to 384 GB across the twelve DDR4 slots, and the H730P controller supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50, and 60 modes for the SAS or SATA drives you add.
