DELL PowerEdge R430 rack server 1U E5-2603v3 6C 1.6GHz 24GB DDR4 8x 300GB SAS H330

1U rack server with 8-bay SAS storage

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 across twelve DIMM slots and eight 300 GB 15 K SAS drives managed by a PERC H330 RAID controller supporting RAID 0, 1, 5, 10, 50 and 60. A 550 W redundant power supply, DVD-ROM drive, four 1 GbE ports and two PCIe 3.0 slots complete the configuration.

Suits single-socket workloads needing dense 2.5"

This server fits environments that need up to eight hot-plug SAS or SATA drives in a 1U form factor with hardware RAID and redundant power. It is not for buyers who require dual-processor performance immediately, more than 24 GB of memory out of the box, or additional PCIe expansion beyond two slots.

Maximum memory capped at 24 GB in this configuration

Although the platform supports up to 384 GB across twelve slots, this unit is populated to 24 GB and the installed processor limits memory speed to 2400 MT/s. Buyers planning larger in-memory datasets must add modules and possibly a second CPU to reach higher capacities.
