DELL PowerEdge T440 5U rack server 2x Xeon Silver 4110 2.1GHz 128GB DDR4 H730P 16x 2.5" trays 2x750W PSU

Built for virtualisation and storage

The Dell PowerEdge T440 is a 5U rack server delivered with two Intel Xeon Silver 4110 processors running at 2.1 GHz with a 3.0 GHz turbo frequency. Eight cores per socket give sixteen threads in total. The system includes 128 GB of DDR4-2400 ECC registered memory across four 32 GB modules and a PERC H730P controller with 2 GB cache supporting RAID levels 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60. Sixteen 2.5-inch hot-swap trays and dual 750 W platinum power supplies complete the chassis.

Suits dense internal storage, not GPU density

This configuration targets workloads such as virtualisation hosts, database servers, file storage and backup targets that benefit from many drive bays and redundant power. Buyers who need more than two processor sockets, a smaller rack footprint or integrated GPU accelerators should evaluate other platforms. The tower-style 5U form factor also differs from standard shallow-depth rack rails, so rack planners must verify clearance.

Sixteen 2.5-inch drive bays define capacity

The single specification that decides fit is the sixteen-bay 2.5-inch backplane paired with the H730P controller. It dictates how many SAS or SATA drives can be installed internally and which RAID topologies are available. Memory can scale to 1 TB across sixteen slots and the board offers PCIe expansion, but the bay count and controller set the storage ceiling for this unit.
