Dell PowerEdge T430 16-bay rack server
The Dell PowerEdge T430 is a 2U rack server fitted with two Intel Xeon E5-2660 v3 processors running at 2.6 GHz, each providing 10 cores and 25 MB cache. It ships with 192 GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory and a PERC H730 SAS RAID controller. The 16-bay 2.5-inch chassis supports up to 384 GB of RAM and includes dual 1100 W power supplies. Firmware is updated to the latest stable version before dispatch.
Teams needing dense 2.5-inch storage in a 2U rack
This configuration suits teams that need up to 16 hot-plug SATA or SAS drives managed by the H730 controller and dual-processor compute for virtualisation or database workloads. Buyers who require drives pre-installed, 10 GbE networking or a tower form factor should evaluate other models. The installed memory uses DDR4 technology only.
PERC H730 SAS RAID controller
The single specification that decides fit is the PERC H730 SAS RAID controller, which governs drive compatibility, RAID levels and maximum array size. If your storage plan relies on that controller feature set, this server matches it. If you need a different controller or drive protocol, select another system.

Questions about this item
How do I install drives in the 16 SFF bays and which step is often missed?
Slide each 2.5" drive into a bay until the carrier clicks, then configure the PERC H730 RAID controller in the BIOS before the OS sees the volumes.
What maintenance will the PERC H730 RAID controller and DDR4 memory need later?
Update the H730 firmware when Dell releases new versions and run the built-in memory diagnostics if ECC correctable errors appear in iDRAC8 logs.
What limit appears first under sustained load with the 2x Xeon E5-2660V3 CPUs and 1100W supplies?
The 192GB DDR4 capacity ceiling is reached before CPU or power limits, so memory-heavy workloads hit the 384GB maximum first.
