Dell PowerEdge R430 1U rack server E5-2650 v3 10-core 2.3 GHz 8 GB DDR4 3×1.2 TB SAS H330

1U rack server with Xeon E5-2650 v3

The Dell PowerEdge R430 is a 1U rack-mount server fitted with a single ten-core Intel Xeon E5-2650 v3 running at 2.3 GHz. It ships with 8 GB of DDR4 memory and three 1.2 TB 7.2 K SAS drives on a PERC H330 controller. A 550 W redundant power supply and iDRAC8 remote management are included.

Suits single-socket workloads

This configuration suits environments that need a compact, single-processor server with hardware RAID 0, 1, 5, 10, 50 or 60 and four 1 GbE ports. The 12 DIMM slots allow memory expansion up to the platform maximum. Buyers who require a second processor, more than 8 GB of installed memory or additional drive bays beyond the eight 2.5-inch hot-plug slots should look at a different platform.

PERC H330 RAID controller

The PERC H330 12 Gbps controller provides RAID 0, 1, 5, 10, 50 and 60 across the eight 2.5-inch hot-plug bays. It manages the three installed 1.2 TB SAS drives and any additional SAS or SATA drives added later. This controller choice determines the RAID levels available and the drive interfaces supported.
