Compact 1U rack server

The Dell PowerEdge R430 fits a single Intel Xeon E5-2603 v3 six-core 1.6GHz processor and 24GB of DDR4 memory into a 1U chassis. It ships with three 300GB 15K SAS drives and a PERC H730 RAID controller with 1GB cache. The system includes a 550W redundant power supply, DVD-ROM and four 1GbE ports.

SAS and PCIe 3.0 limits

Eight 2.5-inch hot-plug bays accept SAS or SATA drives, but the backplane and H730 controller operate at 6Gbps and 12Gbps respectively. Only two PCIe 3.0 slots are available for add-in cards. Maximum installed memory is capped at 24GB in this configuration, though the platform supports up to 384GB across 12 DIMM slots when a second processor is added.

Capacity and headroom

The three 300GB 15K drives deliver fast access for operating system and primary workloads, while RAID 0/1/5/6/10/50/60 provides flexibility. Storage can scale to 16TB across all bays. Memory headroom ends at 24GB unless a second CPU is installed, and expansion slots run out after two cards.

Questions about this item

Should I choose the 300 GB SAS drives or add more bays up to the 8-bay limit?

The chassis holds up to 8 x 2.5" hot-plug bays; three 300 GB 15K SAS drives are installed, leaving five bays free for additional SAS or SATA drives.

What does the 1.6 GHz Xeon E5-2603 v3 mean for actual throughput?

The six-core 1.6 GHz processor handles multi-threaded workloads within the 1U form factor; memory runs at DDR4 speeds up to 2400 MT/s limited by the CPU capability.

How does the H730 12 Gbps RAID controller cap drive performance?

The H730 supports 12 Gbps SAS and RAID 0/1/5/6/10/50/60, so drive arrays are limited by the 6 Gbps SAS drives installed rather than the controller.
