DELL PowerEdge T440 5U Rack Server 2x Xeon Gold 5218 2.3GHz 32GB DDR4 H730P 16x 2.5" Trays

Server Purpose

The Dell PowerEdge T440 is a 5U rack server built with two Intel Xeon Gold 5218 processors running at 2.3 GHz with a 3.9 GHz turbo frequency. It includes 32 GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory across four 8 GB modules and a PERC H730P storage controller with 2 GB cache. The chassis provides sixteen 2.5-inch hot-swap drive trays and dual 750 W redundant power supplies for enterprise workloads.

Buyer Fit

This server suits organisations that need high core-count compute and dense 2.5-inch storage in a rack-mountable 5U form factor. It is not for buyers who require GPU acceleration, more than two processor sockets, or a compact tower chassis without rack rails. The integrated dual-port Gigabit Ethernet and iDRAC 9 Express management meet standard data-centre connectivity and remote administration needs.

Deciding Specification

The PERC H730P controller supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 plus pass-through mode over 12 Gb/s SAS and SATA links. This single specification determines whether the storage topology and redundancy levels required by the deployment can be satisfied by the installed controller.
