Dual Xeon 12-Core Server for Virtualisation

The Dell PowerEdge T430 is a 5U tower server equipped with two Intel Xeon E5-2650 v4 processors running at 2.2 GHz with a 2.9 GHz turbo frequency. Each CPU provides twelve cores, delivering twenty-four threads for multi-threaded workloads. The system includes 64 GB of DDR4-2400 ECC registered memory across four modules and a PERC H730P 2 GB RAID controller supporting RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60. Four 960 GB SATA SSDs are installed in the front bays.

Suits Consolidation and Database Workloads

This configuration fits organisations running VMware ESXi, Hyper-V or Proxmox VE clusters that need dense 2.5-inch drive capacity and redundant 750 W platinum power supplies. The sixteen hot-swap bays allow storage expansion using SAS or SATA media. Buyers who require more than two processor sockets or memory beyond 384 GB cannot use this platform.

PERC H730P Controller Decides Storage Topology

The installed H730P 2 GB controller determines which RAID levels are available and manages the four 960 GB SSDs with battery-backed cache. It provides 12 Gb/s SAS and SATA connectivity for the sixteen drive bays. If your deployment needs a different RAID feature set or external enclosure support, the controller choice is the deciding factor.

Questions about this item

Should I choose the 4 × 960 GB SSD configuration or add more drives to the 16-bay chassis?

The chassis holds 16 × 2.5″ bays; four 960 GB SATA SSDs are installed and the PERC H730P supports RAID 0/1/5/6/10/50/60, so you can expand later without changing the controller.

What does the 2.2 GHz base / 2.9 GHz turbo figure mean when both Xeon E5-2650 v4 CPUs are under load?

Each of the two 12-core processors runs at 2.2 GHz base and can reach 2.9 GHz turbo depending on core count, power and thermal headroom inside the 5U enclosure.

How does the 12 Gb/s SAS/SATA PERC H730P controller limit real-world throughput with the 960 GB SATA SSDs?

The H730P provides a 12 Gb/s SAS/SATA link and 2 GB cache; SATA 6 Gb/s SSDs will be capped at the SATA 6 Gb/s line rate, while the controller’s RAID engine handles parity overhead.
