PowerEdge T430 dual Xeon 5U server

The Dell PowerEdge T430 is a 5U rack server fitted with two Intel Xeon E5-2650 v4 processors running at 2.2 GHz with a 2.9 GHz turbo. Twelve cores per CPU deliver 24 threads for multi-threaded workloads. The system ships with 64 GB of DDR4-2400 ECC registered memory across four modules and a PERC H730P 2 GB storage controller supporting RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60. Sixteen 2.5-inch hot-swap bays and four drive trays are included.

Suits virtualization hosts and database nodes

This configuration suits teams running VMware ESXi, Hyper-V or Proxmox clusters that need dense 2.5-inch storage and redundant 750 W platinum power supplies. The iDRAC 8 Express module provides remote management for lights-out operation. Buyers who need more than 384 GB of memory, more than two processor sockets, or a different drive form factor should evaluate other platforms.

PERC H730P RAID controller with 2 GB cache

The installed Dell PERC H730P 2 GB controller determines which RAID levels and drive types are supported for the sixteen 2.5-inch bays. It handles SAS and SATA drives with battery-backed write cache. Verify that the controller firmware and drive compatibility list match the intended storage layout before deployment.

Questions about this item

Should I pick the 64 GB DDR4-2400 kit or add more modules to reach 384 GB?

The system ships with 64 GB across four 16 GB modules. Twelve slots are available, so you can expand up to 384 GB by filling the remaining eight slots with matching DDR4 ECC registered DIMMs.

What does the 2.2 GHz base and 2.9 GHz turbo on the dual Xeon E5-2650 v4 mean for actual workloads?

Twenty-four total cores run at 2.2 GHz under sustained load and can boost to 2.9 GHz when thermal headroom allows, giving strong multi-threaded throughput for virtualization and databases.

How does the PERC H730P 12 Gb/s SAS/SATA controller limit the 16 drive bays in practice?

The controller connects all sixteen 2.5-inch bays at 12 Gb/s per lane, supporting RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60, so total array bandwidth is capped by the controller’s 12 Gb/s SAS interface.
