Server Configuration

The Dell PowerEdge T440 is a 5U tower server with an optional rack conversion kit. It ships with two Intel Xeon Silver 4116 processors, each running at 2.1 GHz with a 3.0 GHz turbo frequency and 12 cores. The system includes 256 GB of DDR4-2400 ECC registered memory across eight 32 GB modules and a Dell PERC H330 12 Gb/s SAS/SATA storage controller. Eight 2.5-inch hot-swap drive trays, dual 1 GbE ports, iDRAC 9 Express, and redundant 750 W platinum power supplies complete the build.

Target Use Cases

This server suits organisations running virtualisation platforms such as VMware ESXi, Microsoft Hyper-V, or Proxmox VE, as well as database hosting, file storage, backup, and software-defined storage workloads. It supports up to 1 TB of DDR4 memory across 16 slots and sixteen 2.5-inch drive bays for SAS, SATA, or SSD media. Buyers needing more than two processor sockets or a different storage controller feature set should evaluate alternative platforms.

Critical Specification

The PERC H330 controller provides 12 Gb/s SAS and SATA connectivity without an integrated RAID cache module. This specification determines whether the controller meets the performance and data-protection requirements of the intended workload.

Questions about this item

Should I choose the 256 GB DDR4-2400 configuration or add more modules up to the 1 TB limit?

The server ships with eight 32 GB DDR4-2400 ECC registered modules filling half the sixteen slots. Adding identical modules preserves quad-channel performance and reaches the 1 TB maximum.

What does the 2.1 GHz base and 3.0 GHz turbo on the dual Xeon Silver 4116 CPUs deliver in a live workload?

Twenty-four cores at 2.1 GHz provide steady multi-thread throughput; turbo lifts active cores to 3.0 GHz for burst performance in virtualization or database tasks.

How does the PERC H330 12 Gb/s SAS/SATA controller limit drive speed in the sixteen 2.5-inch bays?

The H330 caps each bay at 12 Gb/s SAS or 6 Gb/s SATA, so SSD sequential reads top out near the controller ceiling rather than the drive’s native ceiling.
