Dual Xeon E5-2650 v4 5U Server

The Dell PowerEdge T430 is a 5U rack server equipped with two Intel Xeon E5-2650 v4 processors. Each CPU provides 12 cores running at a 2.2 GHz base frequency with a 2.9 GHz turbo boost. The system ships with 256 GB of DDR4-2400 ECC registered memory installed across eight 32 GB modules. A PERC H330 controller manages four 960 GB SATA SSDs in the front bays. Dual 750 W platinum power supplies deliver redundant hot-swap power.

Virtualisation hosts needing dense 2.5-inch storage

This configuration suits teams running VMware ESXi, Hyper-V or Proxmox on dual-socket Xeon v4 hardware with 16 hot-swap 2.5-inch bays for SATA or SAS drives. The 256 GB DDR4 capacity and H330 RAID controller cover typical virtualisation and database workloads. Buyers who require more than 384 GB of total memory or a different storage controller feature set should evaluate other platforms.

Maximum memory ceiling of 384 GB DDR4

The T430 supports up to 384 GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory across 12 DIMM slots, leaving room to grow from the factory 256 GB. This limit determines whether the chassis can accommodate larger in-memory databases or higher consolidation ratios without a platform change.

Questions about this item

Should I pick the 256 GB DDR4 configuration or add more memory up to the 384 GB limit?

The server ships with 256 GB across eight 32 GB DDR4-2400 ECC registered modules using eight of twelve slots, leaving four slots open to reach the 384 GB maximum if your workloads need extra capacity.

What does the 2.2 GHz base clock with 2.9 GHz turbo mean for actual throughput on the dual Xeon E5-2650 v4 CPUs?

Each of the two processors provides twelve cores at 2.2 GHz base frequency and can boost to 2.9 GHz under load, giving twenty-four total cores for parallel workloads such as virtualization or database hosting.

How does the PERC H330 controller and SATA 6 Gb/s interface affect the four 960 GB SSDs in practice?

The PERC H330 12 Gb/s SAS/SATA controller manages the four 960 GB SATA 6 Gb/s SSDs, so each drive is limited to the SATA 6 Gb/s link speed while the controller provides RAID functionality across the array.
