Purpose-built density

The PowerEdge R430 is a 1U rack server designed for organisations that need dual-processor compute in the smallest standard footprint. Two Xeon E5-2603 v3 six-core CPUs at 1.6 GHz and 32 GB of DDR4 give a baseline for virtualised workloads, light databases or file services where rack space is at a premium.

Memory ceiling

The platform provides 12 DIMM slots, six per processor, yet the installed 32 GB already matches the specification's stated maximum capacity. DDR4 modules up to 2400 MT/s are supported, but actual speed depends on the processor capability, so faster sticks will down-clock to the CPU's native rate.

Storage headroom

Three 1 TB 7.2 K SATA drives occupy half of the eight 2.5-inch hot-plug bays, leaving four slots open for capacity growth. The H730 controller with 1 GB cache enables RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 or 60, and the chassis specification lists a maximum aggregate drive capacity of 16 TB.

Questions about this item

Should I choose the 32 GB DDR4 configuration or add more memory later?

The system ships with 32 GB DDR4 installed and the processor supports up to 384 GB across 12 DIMM slots, so you can expand later if workloads grow.

What does the 1.6 GHz Xeon clock speed mean for everyday tasks?

Each E5-2603v3 provides six cores at 1.6 GHz, giving steady multi-threaded throughput for virtualization, file serving or database workloads without turbo bursts.

How does the H730 12 Gbps RAID controller limit my drive choices?

The H730 handles SAS or SATA drives at up to 12 Gbps and supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 across the eight 2.5-inch hot-plug bays.
