DELL PowerEdge T430 16SFF Server
This DELL PowerEdge T430 is a rack-mount server system built around a single Intel Xeon E5-2620 v3 processor running at 2.4GHz with six cores. It arrives with 128GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory installed and supports up to 384GB total capacity. The 16-bay 2.5-inch chassis uses a Dell PERC H730 SAS controller for SATA drives. Remote management is handled by iDRAC8 Express.
Ideal for virtualisation and storage density
The sixteen 2.5-inch bays suit workloads that need many drives in a 2U footprint such as virtualisation clusters or software-defined storage. Buyers who want more storage bays than sixteen or who require dual processors from day one should look at larger platforms. The single CPU configuration leaves one socket open for future expansion if the workload grows.
16-bay 2.5-inch chassis capacity
The defining specification is the sixteen 2.5-inch drive bays combined with the PERC H730 RAID controller. This bay count decides whether the server fits your storage density target before you consider CPU or memory upgrades.

Questions about this item
How do I install the Dell PERC H730 SAS Controller and what step is commonly missed?
Seat the PERC H730 in the dedicated RAID slot, connect the SAS cables to the 16 2.5" backplane, then enable the controller in the BIOS before creating any virtual disks — skipping the BIOS enable step leaves the drives invisible to the OS.
Which components will need replacement first under continuous operation?
The two 1100 W power supplies and the system fans are the primary field-replaceable units; both are hot-swappable and rated for 24×7 duty cycles.
What thermal or power limit appears first during sustained full-load use?
The single Xeon E5-2620 v3 at 2.4 GHz and 128 GB DDR4 will hit the 1100 W power-supply ceiling before the chassis reaches its thermal threshold.
