Dell PowerEdge R430 1U Server

The Dell PowerEdge R430 is a 1U rack server built for density-focused deployments. It arrives with a single Intel Xeon E5-2603v3 six-core processor running at 1.6 GHz and 16 GB of DDR4 memory. Three 1 TB 7.2K SATA drives sit behind a PERC H730 RAID controller supporting levels 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60. A redundant 550 W power supply and four 1 GbE ports complete the baseline configuration.

Suits single-socket entry workloads

This configuration suits environments running light virtualisation, file serving or web hosting on a single processor. The chassis provides eight 2.5-inch hot-plug bays and twelve DDR4 DIMM slots, allowing storage and memory growth within the same 1U footprint. Buyers needing two processors from day one, more than 16 GB of installed memory, or storage interfaces beyond SATA and SAS should evaluate larger platforms because the R430 maxes at two CPUs and the supplied controller handles only SATA and SAS interfaces.

PERC H730 RAID controller with 1 GB cache

The installed PERC H730 controller delivers 12 Gbps SAS connectivity and 1 GB of non-volatile cache, enabling the supported RAID levels across the three supplied 1 TB drives or future additions. It manages the eight hot-plug bays through a single PCIe 3.0 slot, leaving one additional PCIe 3.0 slot free for networking or HBA expansion. This controller choice determines the storage performance ceiling and data-protection options for the entire system.

Questions about this item

How do I choose between the single E5-2603v3 and the dual-processor option for the R430?

The server supports up to two Xeon processors. A second CPU doubles core count and unlocks the remaining six DIMM slots for memory expansion beyond the installed 16GB.

What does the 1.6GHz clock speed mean for actual workloads on this server?

The six-core Xeon E5-2603v3 runs at a fixed 1.6GHz base frequency. It handles multi-threaded tasks such as virtualization hosts or database servers within that constant clock rate.

How does the H730 controller’s 12Gbps SAS interface affect the installed SATA drives?

The Perc H730 provides a 12Gbps SAS link to the backplane, but the three 1TB SATA drives operate at their native 6Gbps. The controller still enables RAID 0/1/5/6/10/50/60 across them.
