Dell PowerEdge T440 5U Server

The Dell PowerEdge T440 is a 5U tower server that can be converted to rack mounting. It ships with two Intel Xeon Gold 5218 processors, each running at 2.3 GHz with 3.9 GHz turbo and 16 cores. The system includes 128 GB of DDR4-2400 ECC registered memory across four 32 GB modules. A PERC HBA330 controller manages up to sixteen 2.5-inch hot-swap drive bays.

Suits virtualization and storage workloads

This server suits organisations running VMware ESXi, Hyper-V or Proxmox VE clusters, Microsoft SQL Server databases, file services or software-defined storage. The dual-socket design and 1 TB maximum memory capacity support heavy multi-threaded workloads. Buyers who need more than two processor sockets or more than sixteen 2.5-inch bays should evaluate alternative platforms. The tower chassis also requires floor space unless the optional rack kit is sourced separately.

Sixteen 2.5-inch hot-swap drive bays decide fit

The chassis provides exactly sixteen 2.5-inch hot-swap trays connected to the HBA330 controller, which handles SAS and SATA drives. This bay count and controller choice determine whether the platform matches your storage density and interface requirements. If your deployment needs a different bay quantity or a RAID-capable controller, this model will not meet that requirement.
