DELL PowerEdge T440 5U Rack Server 2x Xeon Gold 5218 2.3GHz 128GB DDR4 HBA330

Built for Virtualisation and Storage

The Dell PowerEdge T440 is a 5U rack server equipped with two Intel Xeon Gold 5218 processors running at 2.3GHz with 3.9GHz turbo. It ships with 128GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory across four 32GB modules and a PERC HBA330 storage controller. This configuration targets organisations running VMware ESXi, Hyper-V, Proxmox VE, database workloads or software-defined storage clusters.

Verify Rack Space and Drive Count

Confirm your cabinet can accommodate a 5U chassis and that you have rails or shelves rated for the unit's depth. The server provides sixteen 2.5-inch hot-swap bays but only four drive trays are included; additional trays are required to populate every slot. Ensure your operating system and hypervisor support the HBA330 controller in pass-through or RAID mode before deployment.

Sustained Loads on Dual 750W Platinum PSUs

Redundant 750 watt platinum power supplies maintain delivery during continuous multi-core utilisation at 2.3GHz or higher turbo frequencies. The HBA330 handles steady SAS and SATA throughput without a write-back cache, so plan storage topology for consistent latency. iDRAC 9 Express remains available for remote health monitoring and firmware updates while the host operates under full production load.
