Server purpose
The Dell PowerEdge T430 is a 5U rack server configured with dual Intel Xeon E5-2690 v4 processors and 64GB of DDR4 memory. It ships with four 960GB SATA SSDs attached to a PERC HBA330 controller. This system targets businesses needing virtualisation capacity or database performance in a tower-to-rack convertible chassis.
Fit and alternatives
The 16-bay 2.5-inch front panel suits organisations that want dense SSD storage behind a single controller. Buyers requiring more than two sockets or memory beyond 384GB should consider larger platforms. Sites without rack infrastructure can still deploy the tower form factor, but the 5U height may exceed standard desktop clearance.
Deciding specification
The installed PERC HBA330 operates in HBA mode, presenting drives directly to the operating system without hardware RAID. Confirm that your hypervisor or application stack can manage software RAID or JBOD before purchase.

Questions about this item
How many 2.5-inch drive bays does the T430 provide for the four 960GB SSDs?
The chassis includes sixteen 2.5-inch hot-swap bays, so the four installed SSDs occupy only a quarter of the available slots.
Which expansion slot does the HBA330 storage controller use during installation?
The PERC HBA330 plugs into a PCI Express slot; the common mistake is seating it in a riser that lacks the required x8 electrical connection.
What memory specification must replacement modules match for the twelve DDR4 slots?
New modules must be DDR4-2400 ECC registered DIMMs to maintain compatibility with the Xeon E5-2690 v4 processors.
