DELL PowerEdge T430 5U Rack Server 2x Xeon E5-2695 v4 2.1GHz 18-Core 32GB DDR4 4x 960GB SSD HBA330

Dual 18-Core Xeon Server for Virtualisation

The Dell PowerEdge T430 is a 5U rack server equipped with two Intel Xeon E5-2695 v4 processors, each running at 2.1 GHz with a 3.3 GHz turbo frequency. Eighteen cores per socket deliver strong multi-threaded throughput for virtualisation hosts and database workloads. The system ships with 32 GB of DDR4-2400 ECC registered memory across twelve slots, expandable to 384 GB.

Suited for Consolidation Not High-Frequency Single

This configuration fits organisations consolidating multiple VMs or running memory-heavy applications where core count matters more than peak clock speed. Buyers who need higher single-thread performance or newer instruction-set extensions should evaluate alternative platforms. The included HBA330 controller provides direct SAS or SATA connectivity without on-board RAID processing.

Four 960 GB Enterprise SSDs on HBA330

Four Dell 960 GB SATA 6 Gb/s 2.5-inch solid-state drives are installed behind the sixteen-bay hot-swap backplane and managed by the PERC HBA330 12 Gb/s controller. The drives present as raw block devices, leaving RAID or software-defined storage decisions to the operating system. Redundant 750 W platinum power supplies and iDRAC 8 Express remote management complete the package.
