DELL PowerEdge T430 5U Rack Server 2x Xeon E5-2660 v4 2.0GHz 14 Core 32GB DDR4 H330 16 Bay 2.5

Enterprise Tower Server

The Dell EMC PowerEdge T430 is a 5U tower server that supports up to sixteen 2.5-inch hot-swap drive bays and dual Intel Xeon E5-2600 v4 processors. This unit arrives with two 14-core Xeon E5-2660 v4 CPUs running at 2.0GHz with 3.2GHz turbo, 32GB of DDR4-2400 ECC registered memory, a PERC H330 storage controller, four drive trays, dual Gigabit Ethernet, iDRAC 8 Express and redundant 750W platinum power supplies.

Virtualisation and Storage Focus

The configuration suits organisations deploying VMware ESXi, Microsoft Hyper-V, Proxmox VE, database workloads, file services or backup targets that need dense 2.5-inch storage capacity in a tower chassis. Buyers who require pre-installed drives, a rackmount form factor without a conversion kit, more than two processor sockets or memory beyond the 384GB ceiling should evaluate other platforms.

Sixteen-Bay 2.5-Inch Capacity

The defining specification is the sixteen 2.5-inch hot-swap drive bays backed by a 12Gb/s SAS/SATA PERC H330 controller, which determines the maximum local storage density and RAID options available without adding external enclosures.
