Product Identity

The Dell PowerEdge T440 is a 5U rack server equipped with two Intel Xeon Gold 5120 processors, each offering 14 cores at 2.2 GHz with 3.2 GHz turbo. It ships with 256 GB of DDR4-2400 ECC registered memory across eight 32 GB modules and a PERC HBA330 storage controller. The chassis provides sixteen 2.5-inch hot-swap drive bays, dual 1 GbE ports, iDRAC 9 Express management, and redundant 750 W platinum power supplies.

Target Audience

This server suits organisations that need dense 2.5-inch storage capacity in a 5U form factor for virtualization, database hosting, or software-defined storage workloads. Buyers who require a front bezel, ready rails, pre-installed drives, or integrated GPU compute support should evaluate other options. The dual-socket design and 1 TB maximum memory address demanding multi-threaded applications.

Deciding Specification

The sixteen 2.5-inch hot-swap bays backed by a 12 Gb/s SAS/SATA HBA330 controller determine whether this chassis matches your storage topology. If your deployment relies on a different drive count, form factor, or RAID controller, this unit will not fit the requirement.

Questions about this item

When will the 256GB DDR4 memory need to be expanded to the 1TB limit?

Sixteen slots hold 8x 32GB modules now; adding more DDR4 ECC Registered DIMMs reaches the 1TB maximum when workloads demand it.

Which component caps sustained throughput first with sixteen 2.5-inch bays?

The HBA330 12Gb/s SAS/SATA controller sets the bus ceiling before the drive count or dual 2.2GHz Xeon Gold 5120 CPUs saturate.

How loud and hot do dual 750W platinum supplies run under 24/7 load?

Redundant platinum supplies run efficiently; fan speed scales with inlet temperature and total core heat output.
