DELL PowerEdge T430 5U Rack Server 2x Xeon E5-2660 v4 2.0GHz 14 Core 256GB DDR4 H330 16x 2.5" Trays

Dual Xeon E5-2660 v4 Server

The Dell PowerEdge T430 is a 5U rack server equipped with two Intel Xeon E5-2660 v4 processors, each running at 2.0GHz with a 3.2GHz turbo frequency and fourteen cores. It ships with 256GB of DDR4-2400 ECC registered memory across eight 32GB modules. The system includes a PERC H330 storage controller and sixteen 2.5-inch drive trays for hot-swap SAS or SATA drives. Dual 750W platinum power supplies provide redundant power.

Sustained Multi-Core Throughput

With twenty-eight total cores operating at a 2.0GHz base clock, the server maintains consistent performance during extended virtualization, database, or compute workloads without relying on short turbo bursts. The 384GB maximum memory capacity across twelve slots allows memory footprints to grow alongside demand. Redundant hot-swap power supplies and the H330 controller's 12Gb/s SAS/SATA interface keep storage and compute available during prolonged duty cycles.

12Gb/s SAS SATA Storage Limits

The PERC H330 controller connects up to sixteen 2.5-inch drives through a 12Gb/s SAS and SATA interface, setting the practical bandwidth ceiling for direct-attached arrays. Expansion beyond the internal bays requires additional PCIe controllers not included in this configuration. The dual 1GbE network ports and iDRAC 8 Express management port define the standard connectivity limits for this unit.
