PowerEdge T430 8-bay server system

The Dell PowerEdge T430 is a 5U tower or rack server designed for small offices and remote branch locations. It ships with dual Intel Xeon E5-2650 v4 processors running at 2.2 GHz with 2.9 GHz turbo across 12 cores each. The system includes 256 GB of DDR4 2400 MHz registered ECC memory across eight 32 GB modules. Dual 750 W platinum power supplies provide hot-swap redundancy.

Suited for file, print and collaboration workloads

This configuration targets workgroups needing consolidated storage and compute in a single chassis. The eight 3.5-inch drive bays come populated with 8 TB 7.2K SATA enterprise drives managed by a PERC H730 controller supporting RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60. Integrated Broadcom 5720 dual-port 1 GbE networking and iDRAC 8 Express remote management handle connectivity and administration. Buyers needing flash-optimised storage or GPU compute density should evaluate alternative platforms.

PERC H730 controller with battery-backed cache

The storage controller is the decisive component for this build. The H730 mini card delivers 12 Gb/s SAS/SATA connectivity with 1 GB battery-backed cache enabling all supported RAID levels and pass-through mode. It governs how the eight installed drives are presented to the operating system and determines rebuild performance after a drive failure. Verify that your application workload matches the controller feature set before purchase.

Questions about this item

How much heat and power draw should I expect from the two 750 W PSUs running 24/7?

Each supply is rated at 750 W platinum efficiency; actual draw depends on load but the pair provides full redundancy for the 2.9 GHz turbo CPUs and eight 7.2 K drives.

Which rails or rackmount kit do I need to install this 5U tower in a standard cabinet?

The chassis is a 5U form factor; you will need compatible 5U sliding rails or a shelf rated for the unit's depth and weight.

Can the PERC H730 controller manage the existing 8 TB SATA drives together with older 3.5" SAS disks I already own?

The H730 supports mixed SAS and SATA behind the same backplane, so legacy 3.5" SAS drives can join the array alongside the installed 8 TB SATA units.
