DELL PowerEdge T430 5U Rack Server 2x Xeon E5-2650 v4 2.2GHz 12-Core 256GB DDR4 4x 960GB SSD HBA330

Dual Xeon E5-2650 v4 Server

The Dell PowerEdge T430 is a 5U rack server equipped with two Intel Xeon E5-2650 v4 processors. Each CPU delivers 12 cores running at 2.2 GHz with a 2.9 GHz turbo frequency. The system includes 256 GB of DDR4-2400 ECC registered memory across eight 32 GB modules. A PERC HBA330 controller manages four 960 GB SATA solid-state drives installed in the 16-bay 2.5-inch chassis. Dual 750 W platinum power supplies provide redundant hot-swap power.

Virtualisation and database workloads

This configuration suits organisations running VMware ESXi, Hyper-V or Proxmox VE clusters that need high core counts and large memory capacity. The dual-socket design and 384 GB maximum memory support dense virtual machine consolidation. Buyers who require GPU acceleration or single-thread speeds beyond the v4 architecture should evaluate alternative platforms. The tower-form factor with optional rack conversion also fits office environments lacking a dedicated server room.

256 GB DDR4-2400 ECC memory

The installed 256 GB of DDR4-2400 ECC registered memory occupies eight of twelve DIMM slots, leaving room to reach the 384 GB maximum. This capacity often decides whether the server can host the planned virtual machine density or database working set. Memory type and speed are fixed to DDR4-2400; other generations or speeds are not compatible with this platform.
