DELL PowerEdge T430 5U rack server 2× Xeon E5-2690 v4 2.6GHz 14-core 256GB DDR4 4×1.92TB SSD HBA330 2×750W PSU

Dual 14-core Xeon server with 256GB DDR4

This 5U rack server ships with two Intel Xeon E5-2690 v4 processors running at 2.6 GHz with 3.5 GHz turbo. The 256 GB of DDR4-2400 ECC registered memory fills eight of twelve slots and supports expansion to 384 GB. A PERC HBA330 controller manages the four 1.92 TB SATA SSDs installed in the 16-bay 2.5-inch chassis. Dual 750 W platinum power supplies provide redundancy.

Suits virtualization hosts needing dense memory

This configuration fits businesses running VMware ESXi, Hyper-V, or Proxmox VE where high core counts and large memory capacity support multiple virtual machines. The 16 hot-swap bays allow storage growth without downtime. Buyers who need GPU acceleration or more than two processors should consider a different platform.

HBA330 controller with four 1.92 TB SATA SSDs

The PERC HBA330 provides 12 Gb/s SAS and SATA connectivity for the installed solid-state drives. It operates in HBA mode without hardware RAID, so the operating system or software layer handles volume management. This suits software-defined storage or ZFS deployments where direct drive control is preferred.
