Dell PowerEdge R430 1U Server

The Dell PowerEdge R430 is a 1U rack server built around a single Intel Xeon E5-2603 v3 six-core processor running at 1.6 GHz. It ships with 24 GB of DDR4 memory and three 1 TB 7.2K SATA drives managed by a PERC H330 RAID controller supporting RAID 0, 1, 5, 10, 50 and 60. A redundant 550 W power supply and four 1 GbE ports complete the baseline configuration.

Suitable for small business workloads

This server suits organisations needing a compact, entry-level rack platform for file, print or light virtualisation duties where the installed 24 GB RAM ceiling and eight 2.5-inch hot-plug bays match current demand. Buyers who need more than 24 GB of memory, dual-processor compute power or additional drive bays should look at larger chassis options.

Maximum memory capped at 24 GB

The specification lists maximum memory capacity as 24 GB despite the presence of 12 DIMM slots, so the installed 24 GB cannot be expanded on this unit. Verify that this limit satisfies your application requirements before purchase.

Questions about this item

Does the server come with rails, bezel, cables and empty drive trays, or do I need to order them separately?

The unit ships with a power cable, rail kit, bezel, empty hard-drive trays and a DVD drive; mouse, keyboard and video cable are not included.

Should I choose the single E5-2603 v3 or add a second processor for this R430?

The chassis supports up to two CPUs; the installed six-core 1.6 GHz Xeon handles light workloads, while a second identical processor doubles core count and unlocks the remaining six DIMM slots for up to 384 GB total memory.

What does the H330 12 Gbps RAID controller actually deliver with the three 1 TB 7.2K SATA drives installed?

The controller supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 10, 50 and 60; with three drives you can build a RAID 5 array for roughly 2 TB usable capacity and single-drive fault tolerance, limited by the 7.2K spindle speed.
