DELL PowerEdge T440 5U Server 2x Xeon Silver 4116 2.1GHz 12 Core 64GB DDR4 HBA330 16 Bay 2.5

PowerEdge T440 5U Server

The Dell PowerEdge T440 is a 5U tower server system supplied new with dual Intel Xeon Silver 4116 processors running at 2.1 GHz with a 3.0 GHz turbo frequency. Each processor provides 12 cores, giving 24 cores total, and the system includes 64 GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory across four 16 GB modules. A PERC HBA330 storage controller manages up to sixteen 2.5 inch hot-swap drive bays, of which eight drive trays are included. Dual 750 watt platinum power supplies provide redundancy, and iDRAC 9 Express enables remote management.

Virtualisation and storage workloads

This server suits organisations running VMware ESXi, Microsoft Hyper-V, or Proxmox VE virtualisation, as well as database hosting, file storage, backup, software-defined storage, and business-critical applications. The sixteen-bay chassis supports SAS, SATA, and SSD media for flexible capacity planning. Buyers who need hardware RAID offload, a native rackmount chassis without a conversion kit, or more than two processor sockets should evaluate other platforms.

PERC HBA330 controller

The installed Dell PERC HBA330 is a 12 Gb/s SAS/SATA host bus adapter that presents drives directly to the operating system without hardware RAID acceleration. If the deployment requires hardware RAID levels such as RAID 5 or RAID 6, a PERC RAID controller must be sourced separately. The HBA330 also limits boot options to its supported SAS and SATA devices, so confirm operating-system compatibility before purchase.
