DELL PowerEdge T440 5U rack server 2x Xeon Gold 5120 2.2GHz 14-core 64GB DDR4 H730P 16x 2.5" trays 2x 750W PSU

Capacity and role

The Dell PowerEdge T440 is a 5U tower server that holds up to sixteen 2.5-inch hot-swap drive bays and ships with two Intel Xeon Gold 5120 14-core processors running at 2.2GHz with a 3.2GHz turbo. It includes 64GB of DDR4-2400 ECC registered memory across sixteen slots and a PERC H730P 2GB storage controller supporting RAID 0/1/5/6/10/50/60. Dual 750W platinum power supplies provide redundant hot-swap power.

Fit and limits

This server suits organisations that need dense internal storage and dual-socket compute for virtualisation, database hosting, file services or software-defined storage in a tower form factor that can later be rack-mounted with a conversion kit. Buyers who require front bezel or ready rails included, or who need GPU-accelerated workloads without verifying PCIe slot availability, should look at something else.

Build integration

The sixteen drive trays and H730P controller free the builder to populate SAS, SATA or SSD media in any RAID layout without an additional controller card. Two integrated Gigabit Ethernet ports and iDRAC 9 Express handle out-of-band management and basic networking. The 5U chassis accepts standard rack rails when the optional kit is added, and the redundant power supplies leave no single point of failure for the power path.
