DELL PowerEdge T440 5U Rack Server 2x Xeon Gold 5218 2.3GHz 16 Core 256GB DDR4 H730P 16x 2.5" Trays

Capacity and Form Factor

The Dell PowerEdge T440 is a 5U tower server that supports up to sixteen 2.5-inch hot-swap drive bays. It arrives with two Intel Xeon Gold 5218 processors running at 2.3 GHz with a 3.9 GHz turbo frequency and 256 GB of DDR4-2400 ECC registered memory installed across eight slots. The system includes a Dell PERC H730P 2 GB 12 Gb/s SAS/SATA RAID controller and dual 750 W platinum power supplies.

Virtualisation and Storage Targets

This configuration suits organisations deploying VMware ESXi, Microsoft Hyper-V, or Proxmox VE clusters that need dense 2.5-inch storage capacity and dual-processor compute. Buyers who require populated drives, a front bezel, ready rails, or a rack-mount kit included in the box should evaluate alternative platforms. The iDRAC 9 Express controller provides remote management for headless operation.

Drive Bay and Controller Limit

The chassis provides exactly sixteen 2.5-inch hot-swap trays and the H730P controller manages SAS and SATA devices in RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50, 60 or pass-through mode. Maximum memory capacity reaches 1 TB across sixteen DDR4 slots when further expansion is required.
