Dell PowerEdge T430 5U server

The Dell PowerEdge T430 is a 5U tower server built for small offices and remote sites needing single-server capacity. Two Intel Xeon E5-2660 v4 processors deliver 14 cores each at 2.0 GHz with 3.2 GHz turbo. Thirty-two gigabytes of DDR4 ECC memory and eight 8 TB SATA hard drives provide a ready-to-run platform for file, print, web and mail workloads.

Who this suits and who should look elsewhere

This system suits teams that want integrated remote management through iDRAC 8 Express and redundant 750 W platinum power supplies in a quiet tower form factor. The PERC H730 controller supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 with a 1 GB cache. Buyers needing more than 384 GB of memory, more than twelve DIMM slots or a rack-mount chassis should consider other models.

Storage interface and controller

Eight 3.5-inch 7.2K SATA drives connect to the Dell PERC H730 12 Gb/s SAS/SATA controller with battery-backed cache. The controller handles both SAS and SATA devices in the same backplane. Systems requiring a different drive interface or a controller without RAID 50 and 60 support will not match this configuration.

Questions about this item

How many memory slots are free for future DDR4 upgrades?

The system has twelve DDR4 slots in total; four are occupied by the 32 GB kit, leaving eight slots available for registered ECC modules up to the 384 GB maximum.

What storage throughput ceiling will the PERC H730 controller hit with eight 7.2 K SATA drives?

The PERC H730 1 GB controller connects at 12 Gb/s SAS/SATA, but each 7.2 K SATA drive is limited to 6 Gb/s, so the aggregate sustained throughput is bound by the eight drive links.

How much power will the two 750 W platinum supplies draw under continuous full load?

Each supply is rated at 750 W platinum efficiency; with both installed the server can draw up to the combined output required by the dual 14-core Xeons, eight drives, and controller while maintaining redundant hot-swap operation.
