DELL PowerEdge T430 5U Rack Server 2x Xeon E5-2660 v4 2.0GHz 14 Core 32GB DDR4 4x 1.92TB SSD H730P

Dual Xeon E5-2660 v4 compute base

The Dell PowerEdge T430 is a 5U tower server equipped with two Intel Xeon E5-2660 v4 processors running at 2.0 GHz with a 3.2 GHz turbo frequency. Fourteen cores per processor deliver twenty-eight threads for parallel workloads. Thirty-two gigabytes of DDR4-2400 ECC registered memory are installed across four modules. The system targets virtualization, database hosting and business-critical applications.

Sixteen hot-swap bays and PERC H730P RAID

Sixteen 2.5-inch hot-swap drive bays accept SATA and SAS devices while the PERC H730P controller with 2 GB cache supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60. Four 1.92 TB SATA SSDs are populated leaving twelve bays free for capacity growth. Dual embedded Gigabit Ethernet ports handle network traffic and iDRAC 8 Express provides out-of-band remote management. Two redundant 750 W platinum power supplies maintain uptime during a module failure.

Sustained multi-threaded throughput

Twenty-eight threads maintain steady throughput on long-running virtualization hosts and database engines without the frequency drops seen in short bursts. ECC registered DDR4 corrects single-bit errors to prevent data corruption during extended operations. The 2 GB controller cache absorbs write spikes during heavy I/O sequences. Redundant power and hot-swap bays allow drive or power-module replacement while the server stays online.
