1U rack server for dense compute

The Dell PowerEdge R430 fits a single Intel Xeon E5-2650 v3 processor with 10 cores at 2.3 GHz and 16 GB of DDR4 memory into a 1U chassis. Eight 2.5-inch hot-plug bays support SAS or SATA drives while the H330 controller handles RAID 0, 1, 5, 10, 50 and 60. A 550 W redundant power supply and iDRAC8 remote management come standard.

Sustained load behaviour

Three 600 GB 15K SAS drives deliver consistent throughput for database or virtualization workloads that keep the array busy for hours. The H330 12 Gbps controller maintains parity calculations without a battery-backed cache, so write-heavy streams stay steady once the drives reach operating temperature. Redundant power and hot-swap bays let you replace a failed unit without downtime.

Memory ceiling decides fit

The board provides 12 DIMM slots yet the installed processor caps total DDR4 capacity at 16 GB, matching the factory configuration. Workloads that need more than 16 GB of RAM cannot grow on this CPU; a second processor would be required to reach the platform maximum of 384 GB. Buyers who need larger memory footprints should look elsewhere.

Questions about this item

How much heat and power should I expect from the 550 W redundant supply and 10-core 2.3 GHz Xeon running 24/7?

The single 550 W redundant power supply feeds one 10-core Xeon E5-2650 v3 at 2.3 GHz, 16 GB DDR4 and three 15K SAS drives; typical sustained draw stays well below the supply rating, and the 1U chassis uses internal fans that ramp with CPU and drive temperature.

Which rails, cables or drive trays must I already have to install this 1U server in a standard rack?

The unit ships with a power cable; rail kit, bezel and empty 2.5-inch hot-plug trays are not included, so you need compatible Dell rails and any additional trays for the five open bays.

Will my existing 6 Gbps SAS or SATA drives work with the H330 controller and 8-bay backplane?

Yes — the H330 12 Gbps RAID controller supports SAS and SATA drives, and the backplane accepts up to eight 2.5-inch hot-plug devices, so older 6 Gbps disks can be added to the three installed 600 GB 15K drives.
