Dual Xeon E5-2690 v4 5U Server

This Dell PowerEdge T430 is a 5U rack server equipped with two Intel Xeon E5-2690 v4 processors running at 2.6 GHz with a 3.5 GHz turbo frequency. Each processor provides 14 cores for a total of 28 cores. The system includes 128 GB of DDR4-2400 ECC registered memory installed across eight 16 GB modules. It is designed for virtualization, database hosting, and business-critical applications requiring multi-threaded performance.

SATA 6 Gb/s SSD limit on H330 controller

Storage is handled by a Dell PERC H330 controller supporting 12 Gb/s SAS and SATA connectivity. The server ships with four 960 GB SATA 6 Gb/s 2.5-inch solid-state drives installed in the front bays. The SATA 6 Gb/s interface caps sequential throughput at the drive level. The chassis provides sixteen 2.5-inch hot-swap bays, so twelve additional bays remain available for SAS or SATA expansion.

Check rack depth, rails, and memory headroom

Before ordering, verify that your rack can accommodate a 5U form factor and the server's physical depth, as ready rails and the front bezel are not included. The motherboard offers twelve DDR4 slots with a maximum capacity of 384 GB, leaving four slots free for future upgrades. Dual 750 W platinum power supplies provide redundancy, and the integrated dual-port Gigabit Ethernet plus iDRAC 8 Express handle remote management.

Questions about this item

Which configuration should I choose between the dual 14-core processors and the 128GB memory?

The system ships with two Xeon E5-2690 v4 processors, each with 14 cores at 2.6GHz base and 3.5GHz turbo, plus 128GB DDR4-2400 ECC registered memory across 8 slots leaving 4 slots free for expansion up to 384GB.

What does the 2.6GHz base and 3.5GHz turbo mean for actual workloads?

Each of the 28 total cores runs at 2.6GHz sustained with automatic boost to 3.5GHz under load, giving strong single-thread response for database queries and multi-thread throughput for virtualization hosts.

How does the PERC H330 controller with SATA SSDs perform in practice?

The H330 provides 12Gb/s SAS/SATA connectivity; the four 960GB SATA 6Gb/s SSDs will be limited by the SATA 6Gb/s link speed rather than the controller's 12Gb/s capability.
