DELL PowerEdge T430 5U rack server 2x Xeon E5-2650 v4 2.2GHz 128GB DDR4 4x 960GB SATA SSD HBA330 2x 750W

Dual Xeon E5-2650 v4 5U server

The Dell PowerEdge T430 is a 5U rack server equipped with two Intel Xeon E5-2650 v4 processors, each running at 2.2 GHz with a 2.9 GHz turbo. It arrives with 128 GB of DDR4-2400 ECC registered memory installed across eight modules. A PERC HBA330 controller manages four 960 GB SATA SSDs in the 16-bay 2.5-inch chassis. Dual 750 W platinum power supplies provide redundant hot-swap power.

Virtualisation hosts needing dense storage

This server suits teams running VMware ESXi, Hyper-V or Proxmox clusters that want 16 hot-swap bays and dual-socket compute in a single 5U frame. The installed 128 GB DDR4 and four enterprise SSDs cover many database and virtualisation workloads out of the box. Buyers who need more than 384 GB of memory, more than two CPUs or GPU acceleration should evaluate alternative platforms.

Maximum memory capacity of 384 GB DDR4

The system board provides 12 DIMM slots and supports up to 384 GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory. With 128 GB already populated in eight slots, four slots remain for future expansion. This ceiling determines whether the T430 can absorb your projected dataset growth without a platform change.
