PowerEdge T430 5U dual Xeon server

The Dell PowerEdge T430 is a 5U rack server equipped with two Intel Xeon E5-2690 v4 processors, each running at 2.6 GHz with a 3.5 GHz turbo frequency and 14 cores. It ships with 64 GB of DDR4-2400 ECC registered memory across 12 slots, expandable to 384 GB. A PERC H730P 2 GB controller manages storage through eight 2.5-inch drive trays. Dual 750 W platinum power supplies provide redundancy.

Suited for virtualisation and database hosts

This configuration fits teams running VMware ESXi, Hyper-V or Proxmox clusters that need dense 2.5-inch drive capacity and hardware RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 or 60. The dual Gigabit Ethernet ports and iDRAC 8 Express remote management simplify fleet administration. Buyers who require more than 16 drive bays, additional PCIe expansion beyond the installed controller, or a tower chassis without rack conversion should evaluate other platforms.

PERC H730P RAID controller with battery-backed cache

The installed Dell PERC H730P provides 12 Gb/s SAS and SATA connectivity with 2 GB of battery-backed cache, enabling RAID levels 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 plus pass-through mode. Eight 2.5-inch hot-swap trays are populated; the chassis supports up to 16 bays for future growth. This controller choice determines the storage performance and redundancy ceiling for the server.

Questions about this item

Should I add more 16 GB DDR4-2400 modules to reach 384 GB or start with larger sticks?

The server has 12 DDR4 slots; four are filled with 16 GB modules for 64 GB total. You can add eight more 16 GB sticks to hit the 384 GB ceiling, or replace existing modules with higher-capacity DDR4 DIMMs.

How does the 2.6 GHz base clock with 3.5 GHz turbo on the dual 14-core Xeon E5-2690 v4 CPUs translate to real throughput?

Twenty-eight cores at 2.6 GHz deliver a steady baseline for virtualization and databases; the 3.5 GHz turbo lifts single-thread bursts for licensing-bound apps and interactive workloads.

What RAID levels and drive counts does the H730P 2 GB controller support on the eight 2.5-inch trays?

The PERC H730P handles RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 across up to eight SAS or SATA drives, with its 2 GB cache and battery backing write performance.
