DELL PowerEdge T430 5U Rack Server 2x Xeon E5-2650 v4 2.2GHz 128GB DDR4 4x 960GB SSD H330

Dell PowerEdge T430 5U Server

The Dell PowerEdge T430 is a 5U rack server equipped with two Intel Xeon E5-2650 v4 processors running at 2.2 GHz with a 2.9 GHz turbo frequency. Each CPU provides 12 cores for a total of 24 cores. The system includes 128 GB of DDR4-2400 ECC registered memory across eight 16 GB modules. Storage is handled by a Dell PERC H330 controller connected to four 960 GB SATA solid-state drives. Dual 750 W platinum power supplies provide redundancy.

Suited for virtualisation and database workloads

This server suits organisations running VMware ESXi, Microsoft Hyper-V, or Proxmox VE virtualisation clusters, as well as Microsoft SQL Server and other database hosting. The sixteen 2.5-inch hot-swap bays support SAS and SATA drives for flexible storage expansion. Integrated dual-port Gigabit Ethernet and iDRAC 8 Express remote management simplify deployment. Buyers who require more than two processors, memory beyond 384 GB, or additional PCIe expansion beyond the provided slots should evaluate larger platforms.

Dual Xeon E5-2650 v4 12-core CPUs

The defining specification is the pair of Intel Xeon E5-2650 v4 processors, each delivering 12 cores at a 2.2 GHz base clock. This 24-core configuration determines the server's capacity for concurrent virtual machines, database threads, and compute-intensive applications. The LGA 2011 socket limits upgrades to the E5-2600 v3 and v4 families, so the installed CPUs represent the performance ceiling for this chassis.
