DELL PowerEdge T430 5U rack server 2x Xeon E5-2695 v4 2.1GHz 18C 128GB DDR4 H330 16-bay 2.5" 2x750W PSU

Dual Xeon 5U Tower Server

The Dell EMC PowerEdge T430 is a 5U tower server that can be converted for rack deployment. It ships with two Intel Xeon E5-2695 v4 processors, each running at 2.1 GHz with an 18-core design and 3.3 GHz turbo capability. The system includes 128 GB of DDR4-2400 ECC registered memory across twelve slots, with a maximum capacity of 384 GB. A PERC H330 storage controller manages up to sixteen 2.5-inch hot-swap drive bays, though only four drive trays are included.

Virtualization and Database Hosts

This server suits organisations running VMware ESXi, Microsoft Hyper-V or Proxmox VE virtualisation clusters, as well as Microsoft SQL Server databases and file-storage workloads. Dual 750 W platinum power supplies provide redundant hot-swap power, and iDRAC 8 Express enables remote management. Buyers who require more than two processor sockets, more than sixteen 2.5-inch drive bays or integrated GPU compute resources should evaluate alternative platforms.

PERC H330 Storage Controller

The installed Dell PERC H330 controller delivers 12 Gb/s SAS and SATA connectivity for the sixteen-bay chassis. It supports RAID configurations across the available bays, allowing flexible storage layouts for databases, backup targets or software-defined storage. No drives are included, so the buyer must populate the bays with compatible SAS or SATA devices.
