5U dual-Xeon tower server

The Dell PowerEdge T430 is a 5U tower server that can also be rack-mounted with an optional kit. It ships with two Intel Xeon E5-2660 v4 processors, each running at 2.0 GHz with a 3.2 GHz turbo frequency and 14 cores. The system includes 256 GB of DDR4-2400 ECC registered memory across eight 32 GB modules. A PERC H730P 2 GB controller provides RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 support.

Suited for virtualisation

This configuration fits businesses running VMware ESXi, Microsoft Hyper-V or Proxmox VE virtualisation, as well as database hosting and file or backup services. The sixteen 2.5-inch hot-swap bays accept SAS, SATA and SSD media for flexible capacity planning. Buyers who need more than two processors or memory beyond 384 GB cannot expand this chassis further.

Maximum memory capacity is 384 GB

The platform offers twelve DDR4 slots and supports up to 384 GB of ECC registered memory. With 256 GB already installed in eight slots, four slots remain for future upgrades. This ceiling determines whether the server can accommodate growing virtual-machine density or larger in-memory databases.

Questions about this item

Should I choose the 256 GB DDR4-2400 configuration or add modules up to the 384 GB limit?

The server ships with 256 GB across eight 32 GB DDR4-2400 ECC registered DIMMs, leaving four of the twelve slots free for expansion to the 384 GB maximum.

How does the 2.0 GHz base clock and 3.2 GHz turbo on the dual 14-core Xeon E5-2660 v4 CPUs translate to real throughput?

Twenty-eight total cores at 2.0 GHz base provide steady multi-threaded capacity, while the 3.2 GHz turbo lifts single-thread performance for burst workloads.

What RAID levels and drive speeds does the PERC H730P 2 GB controller support over its 12 Gb/s SAS/SATA interface?

The H730P handles RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 plus pass-through, and its 12 Gb/s SAS lanes set the practical ceiling for attached 2.5-inch SAS or SATA drives.
