Dell PowerEdge T430 tower server

The Dell PowerEdge T430 is a tower server system built for small to medium workloads. It ships with dual Intel Xeon E5-2680v3 twelve-core processors running at 2.5GHz and 64GB of DDR4 memory across twelve DIMM slots. The chassis supports up to eight 3.5-inch hot-plug drive bays and includes a PERC H730 RAID controller with 1GB cache. Dual 750W redundant power supplies provide hardware resilience.

Suited for virtualisation hosts

This configuration suits businesses needing a ready-to-run virtualisation host or file server with hardware RAID across SAS drives. The installed memory reaches the processor-supported maximum of 64GB, so buyers who need more than 64GB of RAM must select a different system. The tower form factor fits office environments but does not mount in standard rack enclosures without conversion hardware.

PERC H730 controller with eight 3.5-inch hot-plug

The storage subsystem centres on the PERC H730 controller supporting RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 across SAS or SATA drives. Three 2TB 7.2K SAS drives are installed, leaving five bays available for expansion up to the 80TB chassis limit. The controller’s 12Gbps SAS interface and 1GB cache determine the achievable I/O performance for database or virtualisation workloads.

Questions about this item

Should I pick the 64 GB DDR4 configuration or add more memory later?

The server ships with 64 GB DDR4 across 12 DIMM slots and supports up to 384 GB total, so you can start with the installed 64 GB and expand in matched sets of 4 GB, 8 GB, 16 GB or 32 GB modules up to 2400 MT/s.

What does the 48 virtual core count mean for actual workloads?

Two Xeon E5-2680v3 processors provide 24 physical cores and 48 threads via hyper-threading, giving 48 logical CPUs for parallel tasks such as virtualization, databases or rendering.

How does the SAS interface and H730 controller limit drive performance?

The H730 12 Gbps RAID controller manages the three 2 TB 7.2K SAS drives and up to five additional 3.5″ SAS or SATA drives, with RAID 0/1/5/6/10/50/60 capping throughput at the controller's 12 Gbps link speed.
