PowerEdge T430 16-Bay Server

The Dell PowerEdge T430 is a 5U rack server that holds two Intel Xeon E5-2650 v4 12-core processors running at 2.2 GHz with 2.9 GHz turbo. It ships with 16 GB of DDR4-2400 ECC registered memory across twelve slots and a Dell PERC H730P 2 GB storage controller supporting RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60. Sixteen 2.5-inch hot-swap drive trays, dual gigabit Ethernet, iDRAC 8 Express and redundant 750 W platinum power supplies complete the platform.

Suited for virtualisation and database workloads

This server fits organisations running VMware ESXi, Microsoft Hyper-V or Proxmox VE clusters that need dense 2.5-inch storage and dual-socket compute in a 5U form factor. The H730P controller and 16 drive bays support large RAID arrays for SQL Server, file services or backup targets. Buyers who require more than 384 GB of memory, more than two processors or front bezel and ready rails included should look at alternative configurations.

Maximum memory capacity is 384 GB

The system board provides twelve DDR4 slots and supports up to 384 GB of ECC registered memory. With only 16 GB installed, most deployments will need additional modules before production use. Verify the exact DIMM population rules for your chosen capacity before ordering memory.

Questions about this item

Should I pick the 16-bay 2.5-inch version or a smaller drive-count model?

This unit ships with sixteen 2.5-inch hot-swap trays and a PERC H730P 2GB controller that supports RAID 0/1/5/6/10/50/60, so you can fill every bay with SAS or SATA drives and still have hardware RAID across the full set.

What does the 2.2 GHz Xeon E5-2650 v4 speed mean when the server is under load?

The two 12-core processors run at 2.2 GHz base and can turbo to 2.9 GHz when thermal headroom allows, giving 24 total threads for virtualization or database workloads.

How does the 12 Gb/s SAS controller limit real-world drive throughput?

The H730P 2GB controller caps each SAS or SATA lane at 12 Gb/s, so even the fastest SSDs will be limited to that link speed while RAID overhead consumes a small share.
