Dell PowerEdge T430 16SFF Server

The Dell PowerEdge T430 is a 2U rack server built for dense storage workloads. It ships with one Intel Xeon E5-2683 v4 processor running at 2.1GHz and 128GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory. The chassis supports up to sixteen 2.5-inch drive bays and includes a PERC H730 SAS controller for RAID management. Remote administration is handled through iDRAC8 Express.

Suits virtualisation and storage arrays.

This configuration suits environments that need high drive density and reliable ECC memory for virtualisation or database storage. The integrated graphics and single CPU socket limit performance for GPU-accelerated tasks or heavily threaded render workloads. Buyers needing dual-processor throughput or discrete accelerator support should evaluate other platforms. The 1100W redundant power supplies provide headroom for full drive populations.

Single Xeon E5-2683 v4 with sixteen cores

The installed Xeon E5-2683 v4 delivers sixteen cores and 40MB of cache at a 2.1GHz base frequency. This core count determines the server's parallel processing capacity for multi-threaded applications. Memory can be expanded to 384GB across the available DDR4 slots. The PERC H730 controller manages SAS and SATA drives across the sixteen bays.

Questions about this item

Should I choose the 16-bay 2.5-inch chassis or a smaller drive count for the PowerEdge T430?

The 16-bay 2.5-inch chassis gives you the maximum number of drive slots this model supports; select it when you need room for many SATA drives, otherwise a lower bay count saves space and power.

What does the 2.1GHz Xeon E5-2683 v4 deliver in a live workload?

Sixteen cores at 2.1GHz with 40MB cache provide strong multi-threaded throughput for virtualization, databases and compute tasks, while the single-socket layout leaves a second socket free for future expansion.

How does the PERC H730 SAS controller and SATA interface limit real-world drive speed?

The PERC H730 connects to the 16 bays through 12Gb/s SAS lanes, but each SATA drive is capped at 6Gb/s, so sustained throughput tops out at the SATA link rate rather than the controller's peak.
