Purpose-built compute density
The Dell PowerEdge T430 packs two Xeon E5-2650 v3 processors and 384 GB of DDR4 memory into a 16-bay 2.5-inch rack chassis. Twenty cores at 2.3 GHz and a PERC H730 SAS controller deliver strong multi-thread throughput for virtualisation hosts or database nodes. Integrated graphics and iDRAC8 Express keep remote management simple. No drives are installed, so storage can be tailored to the workload.
Fit and alternatives
This server suits teams that need maximum core count and memory capacity in a 16-drive form factor with SAS RAID. Buyers who require more than two sockets, higher single-thread frequency, or GPU acceleration should evaluate other platforms. Organisations needing pre-populated storage or a different drive-count configuration will want a different chassis.
Deciding specification
The installed memory reaches the system maximum of 384 GB DDR4 across both processors. If the application demands more memory than this ceiling, the T430 cannot accommodate it and a larger platform is required.

Questions about this item
Should I select the 16 SFF chassis or a smaller bay count for this T430?
The 16 SFF chassis supports up to sixteen 2.5" drives, giving maximum density in the same 36 x 24 x 10 in footprint.
What does the 384 GB DDR4 figure mean for actual workloads?
384 GB DDR4 ECC registered memory fills the maximum capacity, allowing large in-memory databases or dense virtualization without swapping.
How does the PERC H730 SAS controller limit drive performance?
The PERC H730 SAS controller manages the SAS interface and RAID levels; throughput is capped by the SAS lanes and drive speeds installed.
