DELL PowerEdge T430 5U Server 2x Xeon E5-2695 v4 2.1GHz 18C 128GB DDR4 4x 960GB SSD HBA330 2x 750W PSU

Dual 18-Core Xeon Tower Server

The Dell PowerEdge T430 is a 5U tower server equipped with two Intel Xeon E5-2695 v4 processors, each delivering 18 cores at 2.1GHz with 3.3GHz turbo. It ships with 128GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory across 12 slots and a PERC HBA330 controller driving four 960GB SATA SSDs in 2.5-inch hot-swap bays. Dual 750W platinum power supplies provide redundancy for continuous operation.

Virtualisation Hosts and Database Nodes

This configuration suits organisations running VMware ESXi, Hyper-V or Proxmox clusters that need dense CPU cores and redundant power in a tower form factor. The 16-bay chassis supports SAS and SATA expansion for growing datasets. Buyers who need GPU compute, more than two sockets, or a rackmount chassis without a conversion kit should look elsewhere.

PERC HBA330 Storage Controller

The included HBA330 presents a 12Gb/s SAS and SATA interface without onboard RAID processing, so the operating system or software-defined storage layer manages redundancy. Four enterprise 960GB SSDs are installed, leaving twelve 2.5-inch bays free for additional SATA or SAS drives. Maximum memory capacity reaches 384GB across the 12 DDR4 slots.
