Let's get rolling. The Dell PowerEdge R430 supports three types of drives: Serial-Attached SCSI (SAS), Serial ATA (SATA), and Solid-State Drives (SSD). SAS drives have supported speed options of 7.2K, 10K and 15K RPM. SATA drives have only one speed option: 7.2K RPM. SSDs can run at speeds of 3GB/s, 6GB/s, or 12GB/s. There are small form factor (SFF) and large form factor (LFF) chassis options for the R430. If you want to use 2.5” drives with a LFF chassis, you will need to utilize a 2.5” to 3.5” drive converter. For 2.5” drives, we’ve been able to install drives with capacities of 2.4TB for SAS, 2TB for SATA, and 7.68TB for SSDs. For 3.5” drives, we’ve been able to install capacities of 18TB for SAS, 16TB for SATA, and 7.68 for SSDs. SSDs for 3.5” are technically just a 2.5” SSD drive in a converter. If you have had higher drive capacities work with your R430, share your findings in the comments below. We are interested to hear what others have found.
