Dual Xeon E5-2690 v4 5U server

The Dell PowerEdge T430 is a 5U rack server equipped with two Intel Xeon E5-2690 v4 processors. Each CPU provides 14 cores at 2.6 GHz with a 3.5 GHz turbo frequency. The system includes 32 GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory across four modules. A PERC HBA330 controller manages storage connectivity.

Suits virtualisation and database workloads

This server suits organisations running VMware ESXi, Hyper-V or Proxmox VE clusters that need dense 2.5-inch drive capacity. It also fits database hosting, file services and backup targets where dual-socket compute and 16 hot-swap bays are required. Buyers who need more than 384 GB of memory or more than two processors should look at a larger platform. Environments that require GPU acceleration or front bezel and rail kits included in the box are not addressed by this configuration.

16-bay 2.5-inch chassis with HBA330

The defining specification is the 16-bay 2.5-inch hot-swap chassis paired with the PERC HBA330 12 Gb/s SAS/SATA controller. This combination determines how many drives you can install and which RAID or JBOD topologies are possible. Verify that your storage plan fits within these drive bays and controller capabilities before purchasing.

Questions about this item

Does the PowerEdge T430 arrive with any drives or drive trays, and what must I add to start storing data?

The server includes four 2.5" trays and a PERC HBA330 controller; you must supply up to sixteen 2.5" SAS or SATA drives yourself.

With twelve memory slots and 32 GB already installed as four 8 GB modules, which DDR4 capacity should I choose to reach 384 GB?

Replace the four 8 GB sticks with twelve 32 GB DDR4-2400 ECC registered DIMMs to hit the 384 GB maximum.

What does the 2.6 GHz base and 3.5 GHz turbo on each 14-core Xeon E5-2690 v4 mean for real-world throughput?

Twenty-eight total cores run at 2.6 GHz sustained, boosting to 3.5 GHz under load, giving strong multi-thread performance for virtualization and databases.
