PowerEdge R430 1U server for dense compute

The Dell PowerEdge R430 is a 1U rack server built for environments that need compute density in a single rack unit. It ships with one Intel Xeon E5-2603v3 six-core processor running at 1.6 GHz and 8 GB of DDR4 memory. The chassis supports up to two processors and twelve DIMM slots for future expansion.

Suits single-socket starters.

This configuration suits IT teams deploying a starter virtualisation host, a dedicated application node or a remote-office server where a single socket meets current demand. The installed 8 GB of RAM and the 384 GB maximum capacity limit its usefulness for memory-intensive databases, large VDI deployments or heavy consolidation projects that require more memory headroom.

Three 600 GB 15K SAS drives on an H330 controller

Storage is provided by three 600 GB 15 000 RPM 2.5-inch SAS drives connected to a Dell PERC H330 12 Gbps RAID controller supporting RAID 0, 1, 5, 10, 50 and 60. The eight-bay chassis leaves five hot-plug slots open for additional SAS or SATA drives, letting capacity grow without adding another server.

Questions about this item

Which memory capacity should I choose for this PowerEdge R430?

The system ships with 8GB of DDR4 installed across 12 DIMM slots and supports up to 384GB total using 4GB, 8GB, 16GB or 32GB modules at up to 2400MT/s, actual speed limited by the E5-2603v3 processor.

What does the six-core 1.6GHz Xeon E5-2603v3 deliver in this 1U server?

It provides six cores at 1.6GHz for multi-threaded workloads, with the C610 chipset and DDR4 memory controller; actual memory speed depends on this processor's capability.

What RAID levels and drive limits does the H330 12Gbps controller impose?

The H330 supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 10, 50 and 60 on up to eight 2.5-inch hot-plug SAS or SATA drives, with a maximum raw capacity of 16TB.
