DELL PowerEdge T430 5U Rack Server 2× Xeon E5-2650 v4 2.2GHz 12‑Core 64GB DDR4 H330 2×750W

PowerEdge T430 dual Xeon server

The Dell PowerEdge T430 is a 5U tower server configured with two Intel Xeon E5-2650 v4 processors, each running at 2.2 GHz with a 2.9 GHz turbo frequency and 12 cores. It includes 64 GB of DDR4-2400 ECC registered memory across four modules and a PERC H330 storage controller. The chassis provides sixteen 2.5-inch hot-swap drive bays, though only four drive trays are supplied and no drives are installed. Dual 750 W platinum power supplies and iDRAC 8 Express remote management are fitted.

Suited for virtualization and database hosts

This configuration suits IT teams building virtualization clusters, database servers, or backup targets that benefit from 24 total cores and expandable memory up to 384 GB across twelve slots. The SAS and SATA support on the H330 controller fits traditional hard-drive and SSD arrays. Buyers who need hardware RAID levels beyond the H330 feature set, or who require a different drive interface, should evaluate other controller options.

Deciding spec: PERC H330 controller

The installed Dell PERC H330 12 Gb/s SAS/SATA controller determines which drive types and RAID modes are available immediately. It supports SAS and SATA drives in the sixteen 2.5-inch bays. If your deployment requires a different RAID feature set or drive protocol, the controller choice is the primary compatibility gate.
