DELL PowerEdge T430 5U rack server 2x Xeon E5-2695 v4 2.1GHz 18-core 256GB DDR4 H330 16x 2.5" trays

Dual 18-core Xeon E5-2695 v4 server

This Dell PowerEdge T430 is a 5U rack server equipped with two Intel Xeon E5-2695 v4 processors running at 2.1 GHz with 3.3 GHz turbo. It ships with 256 GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory across eight 32 GB modules and a PERC H330 storage controller. The chassis provides sixteen 2.5-inch hot-swap drive trays and dual 750 W platinum power supplies.

Suited for virtualization and database workloads

The dual-socket design and 384 GB maximum memory capacity support VMware ESXi, Hyper-V, and database hosting. Sixteen drive bays allow large SAS or SATA arrays for file storage or backup targets. Integrated dual-port Gigabit Ethernet and iDRAC 8 Express enable remote management. Buyers who need more than two processors, memory beyond 384 GB, or a different drive bay count should evaluate other platforms.

16-bay 2.5-inch hot-swap chassis

The defining specification is the sixteen 2.5-inch hot-swap drive trays paired with the PERC H330 controller. This combination determines how many SAS or SATA drives can be installed and whether the storage layout fits the intended application. Confirm the bay count and controller match your capacity and redundancy requirements before purchase.
