Purpose-built 16-bay rack server

This Dell PowerEdge T430 fits 16 small-form-factor drives in a 36 x 24 x 10 inch rack chassis. Dual Xeon E5-2640 v3 processors at 2.6GHz deliver 16 total cores for multi-threaded workloads. The PERC H730 controller manages SAS storage, and iDRAC8 Express enables remote administration. It ships with 256GB DDR4 ECC registered memory and dual 1100W supplies.

Suited for dense SAS storage and virtualisation

The 16-bay 2.5-inch layout suits databases, virtualisation hosts or backup targets that rely on SAS drives. Buyers who need more than 384GB total memory capacity or who require drive interfaces other than SAS must look elsewhere. Integrated graphics and a single 1Gb dual-port adapter limit GPU compute and high-speed networking scenarios. The 2U height fits standard racks but offers no tower conversion option.

Memory ceiling of 384GB DDR4

Maximum supported memory is 384GB across 24 DIMM slots, so the installed 256GB leaves room for expansion. DDR4 ECC registered modules are the only compatible type; other generations will not fit. Confirm your workload fits within this ceiling before ordering.

Questions about this item

Which drive-bay count matches my storage plan, the 16-bay 2.5-inch chassis or a smaller option?

This T430 chassis provides 16 bays for 2.5-inch SAS drives, so you can populate up to 16 drives behind the PERC H730 controller

What does the 256 GB DDR4 ECC registered memory mean for virtualization density?

With 256 GB installed and a 384 GB ceiling, you can run many VMs or containers before hitting the memory limit of the dual Xeon E5-2640 v3 CPUs

How does the PERC H730 SAS controller limit the storage topology I can build?

The H730 manages the 16 SAS bays through its internal ports, so all drive connectivity and RAID levels are handled by that single controller
