1U rack server for dense compute

The Dell PowerEdge R430 fits a single Intel Xeon E5-2650v3 ten-core processor at 2.3GHz with 48GB of DDR4 memory into a 1U chassis. It ships with three 1.2TB SAS drives on a PERC H730 RAID controller and a 550W redundant power supply. The platform targets workloads that need high core density in a single rack unit.

SAS 6Gbps and PCIe 3.0 ceiling

Drive bays accept 2.5-inch SAS or SATA media at 6Gbps, while the H730 controller supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60. Expansion is limited to two PCIe 3.0 slots, and the installed memory already reaches the 48GB ceiling of this configuration. Network connectivity provides four 1GbE ports.

Replaces older 2U boxes when rack space is tight

Organisations consolidating legacy 2U servers gain density without adding rack rows, provided the two-socket limit and 48GB memory cap meet the application profile. The jump is worth it when power and space savings outweigh the loss of a second processor socket and higher memory headroom.

Questions about this item

Should I choose the single E5-2650v3 or add a second processor?

The system ships with one ten-core 2.3 GHz Xeon giving 20 virtual threads. A second socket is available if your workloads need more parallel throughput.

What does the 48 GB DDR4 mean for actual workloads?

48 GB is installed across the 12 DIMM slots. The board supports up to 384 GB total, so you can expand later as datasets grow.

How fast are the 1.2 TB SAS drives through the H730 controller?

The three 7.2 K drives connect at 6 Gbps SAS. The H730 supports 12 Gbps, so the controller headroom exceeds the current drive link speed.
