Built for virtualization and database workloads
The Dell PowerEdge T430 is a 5U tower server equipped with two Intel Xeon E5-2695 v4 processors running at 2.1 GHz with 3.3 GHz turbo. Eighteen cores per CPU and 256 GB of DDR4-2400 ECC registered memory across eight 32 GB modules deliver strong multi-threaded throughput. A PERC HBA330 controller manages up to sixteen 2.5-inch hot-swap drive bays for SAS or SATA storage.
Suits growing businesses needing dense local storage
This configuration fits organisations running VMware ESXi, Microsoft Hyper-V, Proxmox VE, SQL Server, or software-defined storage on premises. Dual 750 W platinum power supplies and iDRAC 8 Express remote management support high availability. Buyers who need more than 384 GB of memory, additional CPU sockets, or front bezel and ready rails included should evaluate other platforms.
Storage capacity decided by sixteen 2.5-inch bays
The chassis provides exactly sixteen hot-swap trays connected to the HBA330, so the maximum number of drives is fixed at sixteen. Populating these bays with SAS, SATA, or SSD media determines total raw capacity and IOPS. No additional internal drive locations exist beyond these sixteen positions.
