DELL PowerEdge R430 1U rack server E5-2630v3 2.4GHz 48GB DDR4 3x 300GB SAS H730

1U Rack Server for Dense Compute

The Dell PowerEdge R430 is a 1U rack-mount server built around a single Intel Xeon E5-2630v3 eight-core processor running at 2.4 GHz. It ships with 48 GB of DDR4 memory across twelve DIMM slots and three 300 GB 15K SAS drives managed by a PERC H730 RAID controller. A redundant 550 W power supply and four 1 GbE ports complete the baseline configuration.

Suits Virtualisation Hosts, Not GPU Workloads

This platform suits teams needing a compact virtualisation host or database node with hardware RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 or 60 and room for up to eight 2.5-inch hot-plug drives. Buyers who require GPU acceleration, more than two PCIe 3.0 slots, or 10 GbE networking out of the box should evaluate larger chassis or specialised accelerator servers instead.

48 GB Memory Ceiling and 16 TB Storage Limit

Installed memory sits at the 48 GB maximum supported by this single-processor configuration, leaving no headroom for expansion without adding a second CPU. The H730 controller supports up to 16 TB of raw SAS or SATA capacity across the eight drive bays, while the three included 300 GB 15K drives deliver high IOPS for transactional workloads.
