DELL PowerEdge T440 5U rack server 2× Xeon Gold 5120 2.2 GHz 14-core 64 GB DDR4 H330 4× 1.92 TB SATA 2× 750 W

Built for virtualization and database workloads

The Dell PowerEdge T440 is a 5U tower server configured with dual Intel Xeon Gold 5120 processors, each running at 2.2 GHz with 14 cores and a 3.2 GHz turbo frequency. It ships with 64 GB of DDR4-2400 ECC registered memory across 16 slots and a PERC H330 storage controller managing four 1.92 TB SATA SSDs in 2.5-inch hot-swap bays. Integrated dual-port Gigabit Ethernet and iDRAC 9 Express provide remote management for continuous operation.

Replaces single-socket or lower-core servers

Moving from a single-processor platform or CPUs with fewer cores makes sense when workloads demand higher thread counts for virtualization density, database concurrency, or parallel processing. The jump is worth it when memory headroom and storage throughput become bottlenecks, as this configuration supports up to 1 TB of DDR4 across 16 slots and sixteen 2.5-inch drive bays for SAS or SATA expansion. The redundant 750 W platinum power supplies add resilience for 24/7 environments.

Fits rack or tower deployments with room to grow

The 5U chassis accepts an optional rack conversion kit for standard cabinet mounting, while sixteen front-accessible 2.5-inch bays free internal space for additional SAS or SATA drives without consuming PCIe slots. Eight PCI Express expansion slots remain available for RAID upgrades, extra networking, GPU acceleration, or specialised adapters. Dual hot-swap power supplies and iDRAC 9 Express simplify serviceability and remote firmware updates, keeping the platform online during maintenance.
