DELL PowerEdge T440 5U rack server 2× Xeon Gold 5218 2.3 GHz 16 GB DDR4 HBA330 16× 2.5" trays 2× 750 W PSU

Dual 16-core Xeon Gold 5218 server

This Dell PowerEdge T440 is a 5U rack-mount server system equipped with two Intel Xeon Gold 5218 processors running at 2.3 GHz with 3.9 GHz turbo. It includes 16 GB of DDR4-2400 ECC registered memory across two modules and a PERC HBA330 storage controller. The chassis provides sixteen 2.5-inch hot-swap drive trays and dual 750 W platinum power supplies.

Virtualisation hosts needing dense 2.5-inch storage

The configuration suits organisations building virtualisation clusters, database nodes or software-defined storage appliances that benefit from sixteen front-accessible bays and redundant power. Buyers who require pre-installed drives, larger memory capacity out of the box, or a tower form factor without rack rails should consider other options.

Sixteen 2.5-inch hot-swap drive bays

The single specification that determines fit is the bay count: sixteen 2.5-inch trays backed by a 12 Gb/s SAS/SATA HBA330 controller. If the deployment needs more bays, a different chassis is required; if fewer bays are acceptable, a smaller server may reduce cost and space.
