DELL PowerEdge T430 5U Rack Server 2× Xeon E5-2695 v4 2.1GHz 18C 16GB DDR4 HBA330 4× 1.92TB SSD 2× 750W

Built for virtualization and database workloads

The Dell PowerEdge T430 is a 5U rack server equipped with dual Intel Xeon E5-2695 v4 processors running at 2.1GHz with 3.3GHz turbo across 18 cores each. It includes 16GB of DDR4-2400 ECC registered memory, a PERC HBA330 storage controller, four 1.92TB SATA SSDs, dual gigabit Ethernet, iDRAC 8 Express remote management and redundant 750W platinum power supplies in a 16-bay 2.5-inch chassis.

Suits IT teams consolidating VMs

Organisations that need more than 16GB of memory pre-installed should note the system ships with only two 8GB modules across 12 available slots. Buyers requiring integrated RAID levels beyond JBOD or HBA mode will need a different controller, as the HBA330 provides SAS and SATA connectivity without hardware RAID. The tower form factor with optional rack conversion also means rack-mount hardware is not included.

Memory ceiling and drive bay count set

The platform supports a maximum of 384GB of DDR4 across 12 DIMM slots, so the 16GB starting point leaves significant headroom for memory-intensive workloads. Sixteen 2.5-inch hot-swap bays are available, of which four are populated with 1.92TB SATA SSDs, leaving twelve bays open for additional SAS, SATA or SSD storage.
