DELL PowerEdge R430 1U rack server 2× Xeon E5-2603v3 1.6 GHz 48 GB DDR4 3× 600 GB SAS H330

Dell PowerEdge R430 1U server

The Dell PowerEdge R430 is a 1U rack server built for dense compute environments. It runs dual Intel Xeon E5-2603v3 processors at 1.6 GHz and comes with 48 GB of DDR4 memory across 12 DIMM slots. Three 600 GB 15K SAS drives and a PERC H330 RAID controller provide fast storage access. A single 550 W redundant power supply and four 1 GbE ports complete the package.

Suits small-database or virtualisation hosts

This server suits teams that need a compact 1U chassis with hot-plug 2.5-inch drive bays and hardware RAID 0, 1, 5, 10, 50 or 60. It is not for buyers who require more than two PCIe 3.0 slots, more than four 1 GbE ports, or a second redundant power supply from the factory. Workloads demanding GPU acceleration or 10 GbE networking should look elsewhere.

Dual Xeon E5-2603v3 at 1.6 GHz

The installed processors are dual six-core Xeon E5-2603v3 CPUs locked at 1.6 GHz with no turbo capability. That fixed clock speed determines single-thread throughput for legacy applications and licensing costs tied to core count. If your workload needs higher frequency or more cores per socket, this specific CPU configuration will limit performance.
