DELL PowerEdge T430 8 Bay 3.5" 2x Xeon E5-2650 v4 12 Core 16GB DDR4 8x 8TB H730

Tower Server for Office Workloads

The Dell PowerEdge T430 is a 5U tower server built for small-office and remote-office deployments. Two Intel Xeon E5-2650 v4 processors provide 24 cores at 2.2 GHz with 2.9 GHz turbo. Sixteen gigabytes of DDR4 registered ECC memory and eight 8 TB 7.2K SATA drives supply a ready-to-run platform for file, print, mail and web serving. Dual 750 W platinum power supplies and iDRAC 8 Express remote management support continuous operation.

Not for High-Density or GPU-Centric Roles

This tower chassis suits buyers who need internal 3.5-inch drive capacity and quiet office placement. Organisations that require rackmount density, larger memory footprints beyond 384 GB, or accelerator cards for compute-intensive workloads should evaluate alternative form factors. The single onboard dual-port 1 GbE interface also limits environments that depend on 10 GbE or fibre-channel connectivity from day one.

PERC H730 RAID Controller with 1 GB Cache

The installed Dell PERC H730 controller supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 plus pass-through mode. Its 1 GB battery-backed cache accelerates write performance across the eight SATA drives. This specification determines whether the storage topology matches the application’s redundancy and throughput requirements.
