DELL PowerEdge T430 5U Rack Server 2x Xeon E5-2660 v4 2.0GHz 14 Core 256GB DDR4 HBA330 16 Bay 2.5" 2x 750W

Dual 14-core Xeon 5U Server

The Dell PowerEdge T430 is a 5U rack server equipped with two Intel Xeon E5-2660 v4 processors running at 2.0GHz with 3.2GHz turbo. It ships with 256GB of DDR4-2400 ECC registered memory across eight 32GB modules. The PERC HBA330 controller manages up to sixteen 2.5-inch hot-swap drive bays, though only eight trays are included.

Suits virtualisation and storage workloads

This server fits organisations running VMware ESXi, Hyper-V or Proxmox clusters that need dense 2.5-inch storage in a rack chassis. Dual redundant 750W platinum power supplies and iDRAC 8 Express remote management support continuous operation. Buyers requiring more than 384GB of memory, more than two CPU sockets, or 3.5-inch drive bays should evaluate other platforms.

Max memory capacity 384GB

The system provides twelve DDR4 slots and supports a maximum of 384GB of registered ECC memory. With 256GB already installed in eight slots, four slots remain for expansion using compatible DDR4-2400 modules. This ceiling determines whether the platform can accommodate your planned dataset size or virtual machine density.
