Dual Xeon E5-2690 v4 14-core server

The Dell PowerEdge T430 is a 5U rack server equipped with two Intel Xeon E5-2690 v4 processors. Each CPU provides 14 cores running at a 2.6GHz base frequency with a 3.5GHz turbo boost. The system ships with 64GB of DDR4 memory installed across four slots. It targets organisations that need a dual-socket platform for virtualisation, database or file-serving workloads.

Sixteen 2.5-inch bays with HBA330 controller

Storage connects through a Dell PERC HBA330 controller that supports 12Gb/s SAS and SATA drives. The chassis provides sixteen hot-swap 2.5-inch drive bays but no drives are included. The HBA330 operates in pass-through mode without RAID functions so the operating system manages the storage layout directly. Expansion beyond the internal bays requires additional controllers or external enclosures.

Memory ceiling fixed at 384GB

The platform offers twelve DDR4 slots and a maximum supported capacity of 384GB. With 64GB already populated, eight slots remain available for upgrades using ECC registered modules. Buyers who anticipate memory requirements above 384GB must select a different server architecture.

Questions about this item

Should I pick a configuration with the HBA330 or a RAID controller for my storage pool?

The HBA330 passes SAS and SATA drives straight to the operating system, so software RAID or ZFS handles redundancy. A hardware RAID card would add cache and battery backup but is not included in this build.

What does the 2.6 GHz base clock with 3.5 GHz turbo mean when both 14-core Xeons are loaded?

Each E5-2690 v4 runs at 2.6 GHz base and can reach 3.5 GHz turbo depending on core count, temperature and power limits; sustained all-core speeds will sit between those two figures.

The HBA330 is a 12 Gb/s SAS controller — what throughput ceiling does that impose on my drives?

The controller caps each lane at 12 Gb/s, so a single SAS SSD can approach that limit while SATA SSDs max out at 6 Gb/s; total aggregate bandwidth depends on how many drives are active simultaneously.
