DELL PowerEdge T430 5U Rack Server 2× Xeon E5-2650 v4 2.2GHz 12-Core 32GB DDR4 H330 4×1.92TB SSD 2×750W

Dual Xeon E5-2650 v4 5U Server

The Dell PowerEdge T430 is a 5U rack server equipped with two Intel Xeon E5-2650 v4 processors. Each CPU provides 12 cores running at 2.2 GHz with a 2.9 GHz turbo frequency. The system includes 32 GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory across four modules. A PERC H330 controller manages four 1.92 TB SATA solid-state drives installed in the 2.5-inch hot-swap bays. Dual 750 W platinum power supplies deliver redundant hot-swap power. Integrated dual-port Gigabit Ethernet and iDRAC 8 Express remote management are standard.

Suited for virtualisation and database workloads

This configuration fits organisations running VMware ESXi, Hyper-V or Proxmox VE virtualisation clusters. The dual 12-core processors and 384 GB maximum memory capacity support multiple virtual machines and database instances such as Microsoft SQL Server. Sixteen 2.5-inch drive bays allow storage expansion with SAS or SATA media. PCI Express slots accommodate additional RAID controllers or network adapters. Buyers needing higher core counts per socket or larger pre-installed memory populations should evaluate alternative platforms.

PERC H330 12 Gb/s SAS/SATA controller

The storage subsystem centres on the Dell PERC H330 controller providing 12 Gb/s SAS and SATA connectivity. It drives the four included 1.92 TB enterprise SATA SSDs and supports up to sixteen hot-swap drives in total. The controller handles RAID levels for redundancy or performance across the SATA and SAS device mix. This specification determines whether the server matches your storage architecture and drive protocol requirements.
