DELL NX430 Data Storage System
The Dell PowerVault NX430 is a next-generation 1U rackmount NAS solution based on the PowerEdge R330 server platform. It is designed to provide automated installation and advanced data management capabilities using Windows Storage Server 2012 R2. Powered by the Intel Xeon E3-1220 v5 processor, it supports up to 32GB of DDR4 memory and features four hot-plug 3.5-inch drive bays for a total internal capacity of 32TB. Beyond stand-alone file serving, the NX430 can function as a NAS gateway, connecting to high-end storage arrays like Dell Compellent or EqualLogic. This allows for massive external expansion and high-availability clustering (up to 64 nodes) using Cluster Shared Volumes (CSV).
