Dell PowerEdge T430 16SFF dual Xeon server

The Dell PowerEdge T430 is a 2U rack-mount server equipped with two Intel Xeon E5-2660 v3 processors running at 2.6 GHz, each providing 10 cores and 25 MB cache. It ships with 256 GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory installed, expandable to 384 GB. The chassis supports up to 16 hot-plug 2.5-inch drive bays backed by a PERC H730 SAS RAID controller. Integrated graphics and iDRAC8 Express remote management handle console and out-of-band administration.

Suited for virtualisation hosts

This configuration suits teams that need dense 2.5-inch SAS storage capacity and dual-socket compute in a 2U form factor. The 16-bay chassis and H730 controller enable large RAID arrays for databases or backup targets. Buyers who require GPU-accelerated compute or single-thread frequencies beyond 2.6 GHz should evaluate alternative platforms.

16-bay 2.5-inch SAS chassis with PERC H730

The defining specification is the 16-drive 2.5-inch SAS backplane paired with the PERC H730 hardware RAID controller. It dictates the storage topology, drive compatibility and maximum raw capacity the server can deliver. Confirm that your workload fits SAS HDDs or SSDs and the 384 GB memory ceiling before committing.

Questions about this item

What SAS controller limits the drive interface speed?

The Dell PERC H730 SAS controller manages the 16 2.5-inch drive bays and sets the practical throughput ceiling for attached storage.

What rack depth does the 36-inch chassis require?

The server measures 36 inches deep, so a standard four-post rack with at least 36 inches of usable depth is needed for proper mounting.

How are the two 1100 W power supplies installed for redundancy?

Slide each supply into the rear bays until the latch clicks; the step often missed is connecting both units to separate PDU circuits for true failover.
