Dual Xeon 14-Core 5U Server

The Dell PowerEdge T430 is a 5U rack-mount server equipped with two Intel Xeon E5-2660 v4 processors. Each CPU runs at 2.0GHz with a 3.2GHz turbo frequency and provides 14 cores for multi-threaded workloads. The system includes 128GB of DDR4-2400 ECC registered memory across 12 DIMM slots and a PERC H730P controller with 2GB cache.

Virtualisation Hosts and Database Nodes

This configuration suits organisations running VMware ESXi, Hyper-V or Proxmox clusters that need 16 hot-swap 2.5-inch bays and dual 750W platinum power supplies. Buyers who require more than 384GB of RAM or more than two processor sockets should evaluate other platforms. The tower chassis with optional rack conversion also limits deployment in space-constrained racks.

1.92TB SATA SSD Storage Ready

Four factory-installed 1.92TB SATA 6Gb/s solid-state drives provide immediate capacity for operating systems, databases or caching tiers. The H730P controller supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 plus pass-through mode. Expansion beyond the 16-bay chassis is not possible without additional enclosures.

Questions about this item

How does the 2.0 GHz base clock with 3.2 GHz turbo on the dual Xeon E5-2660 v4 CPUs affect real-world throughput?

The two 14-core processors run at 2.0 GHz base and can boost to 3.2 GHz, giving 28 cores total for parallel workloads such as virtualization or database hosting.

What RAID levels does the PERC H730P 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, using its 2 GB cache and battery backup for write protection.

Will the 16-bay 2.5-inch chassis accept the four 1.92 TB SATA SSDs without extra brackets?

Yes, the 16 hot-swap bays are designed for 2.5-inch SAS or SATA drives, so the 1.92 TB SSDs slide in directly.
