DELL PowerEdge T430 5U rack server 2x Xeon E5-2650 v4 2.2GHz 12-core 64GB DDR4 HBA330 16-bay 2.5" 2x 750W PSU

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. It provides 12 cores per processor and ships with 64 GB of DDR4-2400 ECC registered memory installed across four slots. A PERC HBA330 controller manages up to sixteen 2.5-inch hot-swap drive bays, and dual 750 W platinum power supplies deliver redundant power. Integrated dual-port Gigabit Ethernet and iDRAC 8 Express remote management complete the platform.

Suited for virtualization and storage workloads

This server suits organisations running VMware ESXi, Microsoft Hyper-V or Proxmox VE virtualisation clusters, database hosting, file and print services or backup repositories. The 16-bay 2.5-inch chassis and HBA330 controller support SAS and SATA drives for high-capacity arrays. Buyers who require more than two processors, memory beyond 384 GB, or drive bays exceeding the 16-bay limit should evaluate larger platforms.

PERC HBA330 storage controller

The installed PERC HBA330 12 Gb/s SAS/SATA controller determines which drives can be used and how many arrays can be configured. It presents drives directly to the operating system without hardware RAID, so software-defined storage or OS-level RAID is required. Confirm that your storage topology and drive protocol match this controller before purchase.
