DELL PowerEdge T430 5U Rack Server 2x Xeon E5-2660 v4 2.0GHz 14 Core 32GB DDR4 H730P 16 Bay 2.5

DELL PowerEdge T430 5U dual-Xeon server

The DELL PowerEdge T430 is a 5U tower server that supports conversion to a standard rack. It ships with two Intel Xeon E5-2660 v4 processors, each running at 2.0GHz with a 3.2GHz turbo frequency and 14 cores. The system includes 32GB of DDR4-2400 ECC registered memory across twelve slots, expandable to 384GB. A Dell PERC H730P 2GB storage controller provides RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 plus pass-through modes.

Suited for virtualization

This server suits organisations running VMware ESXi, Microsoft Hyper-V or Proxmox VE clusters that need dense 2.5-inch drive capacity. The sixteen hot-swap bays and dual 750W platinum power supplies support business-critical databases, file services and backup targets. Buyers who require GPU compute density, front bezel and ready rails included, or a native rackmount chassis without a conversion kit should evaluate other platforms.

PERC H730P controller with 2GB cache and battery

The installed Dell PERC H730P 2GB 12Gb/s SAS/SATA controller with battery-backed cache determines the RAID levels and drive types available. It manages up to sixteen 2.5-inch SAS, SATA or SSD drives across the front bays. Verify that your storage plan matches the controller’s supported RAID modes and drive interfaces before deployment.
