DELL PowerEdge T430 5U Rack Server 2x Xeon E5-2690 v4 2.6GHz 14 Core 16GB DDR4 HBA330 4x 1.92TB SATA 2x 750W

Dual 14-Core Xeon 5U Server

The Dell PowerEdge T430 is a 5U rack server equipped with two Intel Xeon E5-2690 v4 processors, each running at 2.6 GHz with a 3.5 GHz turbo frequency. It ships with 16 GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory across twelve slots, expandable to 384 GB. A PERC HBA330 controller manages storage, and dual 750 W platinum power supplies provide redundant hot-swap power.

Virtualisation hosts and database nodes

This configuration suits organisations deploying VMware ESXi, Hyper-V, or Proxmox clusters that need dual-socket compute density in a 5U form factor. Buyers who require higher core counts per socket, larger memory capacity out of the box, or integrated networking beyond dual 1 GbE ports should evaluate alternatives.

16-bay 2.5-inch SATA/SAS chassis

The server provides sixteen hot-swap 2.5-inch drive bays connected to the HBA330 controller, supporting SATA and SAS media. The four installed 1.92 TB SATA SSDs occupy a quarter of the bays, leaving twelve bays free for additional capacity or performance tiers.
