DELL PowerEdge T430 5U rack server 2× Xeon E5-2660 v4 2.0GHz 14-core 32GB DDR4 HBA330 4× 1.92TB SSD

Dell PowerEdge T430 5U Server

This Dell PowerEdge T430 is a 5U rack server equipped with dual Intel Xeon E5-2660 v4 processors, each running at 2.0 GHz with 14 cores and a 3.2 GHz turbo frequency. It ships with 32 GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory across four modules and includes a Dell PERC HBA330 12 Gb/s SAS/SATA storage controller. The chassis provides sixteen 2.5-inch hot-swap drive bays, currently populated with four 1.92 TB SATA solid-state drives.

Suited for virtualisation and database workloads

The dual 14-core CPUs and 384 GB maximum memory capacity make this system appropriate for VMware ESXi, Microsoft Hyper-V, Proxmox VE, SQL Server, and file or backup services. Integrated dual-port Gigabit Ethernet and iDRAC 8 Express remote management support standard datacentre operations. Redundant 750 W platinum power supplies and hot-swap bays aid uptime. Buyers who require more than two processor sockets, need memory beyond the 384 GB DDR4 limit, or want storage interfaces other than SAS and SATA should evaluate different platforms.

1.92 TB SATA SSDs and HBA330 controller

Four Dell Enterprise 1.92 TB SATA 6 Gb/s 2.5-inch SSDs are installed and managed by the PERC HBA330 controller in a non-RAID HBA mode. The controller presents drives directly to the operating system for software-defined storage or JBOD configurations. Twelve remaining 2.5-inch bays are free for additional SATA or SAS drives. The front bezel and ready rails are not included.
