DELL PowerEdge T440 5U Rack Server 2x Xeon Gold 5120 2.2GHz 14 Core 16GB DDR4 H730P

Enterprise Tower Server

The Dell PowerEdge T440 is a 5U tower server designed for virtualization, database hosting and business-critical applications. It ships with two Intel Xeon Gold 5120 processors, each running at 2.2GHz with a 3.2GHz turbo frequency and fourteen cores. The system includes 16GB of DDR4-2400 ECC registered memory across sixteen DIMM slots. A Dell PERC H730P 2GB storage controller provides RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 support.

Suits Virtualization Hosts Not High-Density Racks

This server suits organizations deploying VMware ESXi, Hyper-V or Proxmox VE on a tower platform with room for sixteen 2.5-inch hot-swap drives. Buyers who need a factory-ready rackmount chassis without a conversion kit should look elsewhere. Teams requiring more than two installed processors cannot expand beyond the dual-socket limit. Sites without space for a 5U tower form factor will need a different enclosure.

Sixteen 2.5-Inch Drive Bays Define Capacity

The single specification that decides fit is the sixteen 2.5-inch hot-swap drive bays paired with the H730P controller. This combination sets the maximum number of SAS or SATA drives the server can hold internally. Buyers planning larger direct-attached arrays must add external enclosures. The 5U height and tower orientation also determine whether the unit fits the intended location.
