DELL PowerEdge T430 5U Rack Server 2× Xeon E5-2660 v4 2.0GHz 14‑Core 64GB DDR4 H330 4× 1.92TB SATA 2× 750W

Dual Xeon E5-2660 v4 Server

The Dell PowerEdge T430 is a 5U rack server equipped with two Intel Xeon E5-2660 v4 processors, each delivering 14 cores at a 2.0GHz base frequency with 3.2GHz turbo capability. It includes 64GB of DDR4-2400 ECC registered memory across twelve slots, expandable to 384GB total capacity. A Dell PERC H330 storage controller manages four 1.92TB SATA solid-state drives within sixteen 2.5-inch hot-swap bays. Dual 750W platinum power supplies provide redundant hot-swap power.

Virtualisation And Database Hosting

This configuration suits organisations deploying VMware ESXi, Microsoft Hyper-V, or Proxmox VE virtualisation clusters, as well as Microsoft SQL Server databases and file-and-print workloads. The dual-processor design and ECC memory support business-critical applications requiring uptime and data integrity. Buyers who need more than two processors, larger single-drive capacities, or direct-attached GPU compute resources should evaluate alternative platforms.

PERC H330 Storage Controller

The installed Dell PERC H330 controller operates at 12Gb/s and supports SAS and SATA drives in RAID or non-RAID modes across the sixteen hot-swap bays. It determines which drive types and RAID levels are available for the four 1.92TB SSDs and any future storage expansion. Compatibility with specific SAS or SATA firmware revisions is governed by this controller.
