DELL PowerEdge R430 rack server 2× Xeon E5-2650 v3 10C 2.3 GHz 96 GB DDR4 H330 8× 2.5

Compact 1U rack server with dual Xeon CPUs

The Dell PowerEdge R430 fits two ten-core Xeon E5-2650 v3 processors running at 2.3 GHz into a single rack unit. Ninety-six gigabytes of DDR4 memory fill all twelve DIMM slots, and the H330 RAID controller manages up to eight 2.5-inch hot-plug SAS or SATA drives. Redundant 550 W power supplies and four 1 GbE ports complete the baseline configuration.

Suits virtualisation hosts needing dense CPU cores

This system works well for hypervisor clusters, database instances or application servers that benefit from forty logical threads in a 1U footprint. Buyers who require more than ninety-six gigabytes of RAM, additional PCIe 3.0 slots beyond the two provided, or onboard 10 GbE connectivity should evaluate larger chassis or expansion options.

Memory ceiling fixed at 96 GB in this build

Although the platform supports up to 384 GB across twelve slots, the installed configuration already occupies every slot with the supplied modules. Any capacity increase means replacing the existing DDR4 DIMMs rather than adding to them.
