Dual 14-core Xeon E5-2660 v4 5U server

The Dell PowerEdge T430 is a 5U rack server equipped with two Intel Xeon E5-2660 v4 processors. Each CPU runs at 2.0 GHz with a 3.2 GHz turbo frequency and provides 14 cores for multi-threaded workloads. The system includes 16 GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory across two modules and a PERC H730P RAID controller with 2 GB cache. Four 1.92 TB SATA SSDs are installed in the 16-bay 2.5-inch chassis.

Virtualisation hosts needing dense SATA storage

This configuration suits teams running VMware ESXi, Hyper-V or Proxmox on a dual-socket platform with hardware RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 support. The 16 drive bays allow additional SATA or SAS disks to be added later. Buyers who require more than 16 GB of memory from day one, or who need more than two processor sockets, should consider a different chassis. The included iDRAC 8 Express provides basic remote management but not the full Enterprise feature set.

PERC H730P controller with 2 GB cache

The storage controller determines which RAID levels are available and whether the installed SSDs can be grouped into protected arrays. This H730P supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 plus pass-through mode. It uses a 2 GB battery-backed cache to accelerate write performance. Verify that your application’s IOPS and redundancy requirements match these RAID options before purchase.

Questions about this item

Does the server ship with any drives or rails, or must I buy them separately?

The unit includes four 1.92TB SATA solid-state drives installed in the 16-bay chassis. Front bezel and ready rails are not included and must be purchased separately if required.

Which memory capacity should I choose for virtualization workloads on this T430?

The server arrives with 16GB DDR4-2400 ECC registered across two modules. Twelve DIMM slots support up to 384GB total, so add matched DDR4 modules to reach the capacity your hypervisor needs.

What does the H730P controller’s 2GB cache mean for RAID performance in this server?

The PERC H730P provides 2GB backed cache enabling RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60. This accelerates write throughput and protects data during power loss for the four installed SATA SSDs.
