Enterprise 5U server with sixteen 2.5-inch bays

The Dell PowerEdge T430 is a 5U tower server that supports dual Intel Xeon E5-2650 v4 processors, each running at 2.2GHz with 12 cores. It arrives with 32GB of DDR4-2400 ECC registered memory across four modules and a PERC HBA330 storage controller. Two 750W platinum power supplies provide redundant hot-swap power.

Suited for virtualization hosts

This configuration suits teams running VMware ESXi, Hyper-V or Proxmox VE who need dense 2.5-inch drive capacity for databases, file storage or backup targets. Buyers who require a native rackmount chassis without a conversion kit, more than two processor sockets or a hardware RAID controller with cache should evaluate other platforms.

Sixteen hot-swap 2.5-inch drive bays with HBA330

The chassis provides sixteen front-accessible 2.5-inch trays connected to a 12Gb/s SAS/SATA HBA330 controller, allowing direct attachment of SAS, SATA or SSD media without an integrated RAID cache. This bay count and controller combination determines whether the server fits the planned storage topology.

Questions about this item

Should I pick the 32 GB configuration or add more DDR4 modules?

The server ships with 32 GB of DDR4-2400 ECC registered memory across four slots; twelve slots total support up to 384 GB, so you can expand later if workloads demand it.

What does the 2.2 GHz base and 2.9 GHz turbo mean for actual throughput?

Two Xeon E5-2650 v4 processors deliver 24 cores at 2.2 GHz base clock, with turbo up to 2.9 GHz when thermal headroom allows, giving strong multi-threaded performance for virtualization and databases.

How does the HBA330 controller limit drive speed?

The PERC HBA330 provides 12 Gb/s SAS and SATA connectivity to the sixteen 2.5-inch hot-swap bays, so each drive is capped at the controller’s 12 Gb/s interface rather than the drive’s own maximum.
