5U Tower Server with Dual Xeon E5-2660 v4

The Dell PowerEdge T430 is a 5U tower server designed for enterprise workloads. It ships with two Intel Xeon E5-2660 v4 processors, each running at 2.0GHz with a 3.2GHz turbo frequency and 14 cores. The system includes 64GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory across four modules. A PERC H330 storage controller manages up to sixteen 2.5-inch drive bays.

Suits virtualization and database hosts.

This configuration suits businesses running VMware ESXi, Microsoft Hyper-V, or Proxmox VE virtualization clusters. It also fits Microsoft SQL Server deployments, file and print services, and backup infrastructure. Buyers who need GPU acceleration for AI training or rendering should look elsewhere, as the chassis and power design target CPU-bound tasks. The tower form factor with optional rack conversion offers deployment flexibility for growing IT environments.

PERC H330 controller with sixteen 2.5-inch bays

The installed Dell PERC H330 12Gb/s SAS/SATA controller connects to sixteen hot-swap drive bays, though only four drive trays are included. This storage interface determines which drives you can add and what RAID levels are available. The system supports DDR4 memory up to 384GB across twelve slots for future expansion. Dual 750W platinum power supplies provide redundancy for continuous operation.
