DELL PowerEdge T440 5U rack server 2x Xeon Gold 5218 2.3GHz 16-core 128GB DDR4 H330 8x 2.5" trays 2x 750W PSU

Processor and memory configuration

The Dell PowerEdge T440 is a 5U rack server equipped with two Intel Xeon Gold 5218 processors running at 2.3 GHz with a 3.9 GHz turbo frequency. Each CPU provides 16 cores, delivering 32 cores total, and the system includes 128 GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory across four 32 GB modules. It ships with a PERC H330 storage controller and eight 2.5-inch drive trays.

Virtualization and storage capacity focus

This server suits organisations building virtualisation hosts, database platforms or software-defined storage clusters that need high core counts and large memory capacity in a 5U form factor. The sixteen DIMM slots support up to 1 TB of DDR4, allowing significant future expansion. Buyers who require integrated GPU acceleration or a front bezel and ready rails included in the shipment should evaluate other platforms.

Storage controller interface

The PERC H330 provides 12 Gb/s SAS and SATA connectivity for the eight installed drive trays, with the chassis supporting up to sixteen 2.5-inch hot-swap bays in total. This controller determines which drive types can be used and whether hardware RAID levels are available for the deployment.
