1U rack server for entry workloads

The Dell PowerEdge R430 fits a single Intel Xeon E5-2603 v3 six-core 1.6GHz processor with 48GB of DDR4 memory across twelve DIMM slots. Three 300GB 15K SAS drives and a PERC H330 controller provide RAID 0/1/5/10/50/60. Redundant hot-swap power and iDRAC8 remote management come standard.

SAS interface limited to 6Gbps drives

The backplane supports eight 2.5-inch hot-plug bays, yet the installed 15K drives operate at 6Gbps while the H330 controller can handle 12Gbps. Maximum raw capacity reaches 16TB. Only two PCIe 3.0 slots are available for expansion cards, and the Matrox G200eR2 video output is restricted to basic console use.

Replaces tower or older 2U boxes

Organisations consolidating light virtualisation, file or print services from larger chassis gain density and redundant power in 1U. The jump is worthwhile when 48GB memory and three fast SAS spindles satisfy the workload; buyers who need more storage bays, a second CPU or higher single-thread speed should look elsewhere.

Questions about this item

Should I choose the single E5-2603 v3 or add a second processor?

The server ships with one six-core 1.6 GHz Xeon; a second socket is available and doubles core count if your workloads scale across threads.

What does the 48 GB DDR4 figure mean for actual memory speed?

The installed 48 GB runs at up to 2400 MT/s, limited by the E5-2603 v3 memory controller; faster modules will down-clock to this rate.

How does the H330 12 Gbps controller affect drive performance?

The H330 caps each SAS lane at 6 Gbps, so the three 300 GB 15 K drives run at their native 6 Gbps despite the controller's 12 Gbps rating.
