Dual 18-Core Xeon Server

The Dell PowerEdge T430 is a 5U rack server fitted with two Intel Xeon E5-2695 v4 processors. Each CPU runs at 2.1GHz with a 3.3GHz turbo frequency and provides 18 cores for multi-threaded workloads. The system ships with 32GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory installed across four modules.

Virtualisation and Storage Hosts

This server suits teams running VMware ESXi, Hyper-V or Proxmox VE clusters that need dense 2.5-inch drive capacity. The PERC HBA330 controller presents 16 hot-swap bays for SAS and SATA drives, while dual 1GbE ports and iDRAC 8 Express handle network and remote management. Buyers who require more than 384GB of memory or need PCIe Gen4 connectivity for modern accelerators should evaluate newer platforms.

16-Bay 2.5-Inch Chassis

The defining specification is the sixteen 2.5-inch hot-swap drive trays backed by a 12Gb/s SAS/SATA HBA330 controller. This bay count and controller combination determines how many disks can be attached directly without adding external enclosures or switching to a different storage protocol.
