DELL PowerEdge T440 5U rack server 2x Xeon Gold 5118 2.3GHz 12-core 32GB DDR4 H730P 8x 2.5" trays 2x 750W PSU

Dual 12-Core Xeon Gold 5118 5U Server

The Dell PowerEdge T440 is a 5U tower server that holds two Intel Xeon Gold 5118 processors running at 2.3 GHz with a 3.2 GHz turbo frequency. It ships with 32 GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory across four DIMM slots and a PERC H730P 2 GB controller supporting RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60. Dual 750 W platinum power supplies provide redundant hot-swap power.

Virtualisation hosts and database workloads

This configuration suits teams running VMware ESXi, Microsoft Hyper-V or Proxmox VE clusters that need sixteen 2.5-inch hot-swap bays for SAS, SATA or SSD storage. The dual-processor layout and 1 TB maximum memory ceiling support multi-tenant virtual machines and Microsoft SQL Server instances. Buyers who require GPU acceleration, more than two sockets, or a rackmount chassis without a conversion kit should evaluate other platforms.

Sixteen 2.5-inch hot-swap drive bays

The chassis provides sixteen 2.5-inch bays while the included trays populate eight of them, leaving eight bays open for future expansion. The PERC H730P controller manages SAS and SATA drives across all bays with hardware RAID and a battery-backed cache. Confirm that your storage plan fits the 2.5-inch form factor and the controller's supported RAID levels before purchase.
