Dual 14-Core Xeon Server
The DELL PowerEdge T430 is a 5U rack server equipped with two Intel Xeon E5-2660 v4 processors running at 2.0 GHz with a 3.2 GHz turbo frequency. It ships with 256 GB of DDR4 memory installed across eight 32 GB modules and includes a Dell PERC H330 storage controller. Eight 2.5-inch drive trays are provided for SAS or SATA devices.
Suits Virtualisation Hosts Not High-Frequency
This system fits organisations consolidating virtual machines, hosting databases or running business applications that benefit from twenty-eight total cores and large memory capacity. Buyers who need higher single-thread clock speeds or support for newer processor generations should consider alternative platforms.
384 GB Maximum Memory Capacity
The server accepts up to 384 GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory across twelve slots, so the installed 256 GB can be expanded when workloads grow. This limit determines whether the chassis can accommodate future memory requirements.

Questions about this item
What drive trays are included and do I need to buy hard drives separately?
Eight 2.5-inch hot-swap drive trays are supplied. No hard drives or SSDs are installed, so you must purchase storage drives separately.
Should I choose the 256 GB configuration or add more DDR4 memory?
The server arrives with 256 GB across eight 32 GB DDR4-2400 ECC RDIMMs using eight of twelve slots. You can expand to 384 GB by filling the remaining four slots with matching modules.
How does the dual 14-core Xeon E5-2660 v4 at 2.0 GHz perform in a virtualization host?
Twenty-eight cores at 2.0 GHz base and 3.2 GHz turbo give strong multi-thread throughput for VMware ESXi, Hyper-V or Proxmox VE, while the H330 controller manages SAS or SATA arrays for virtual disks.
