Dual Xeon Gold 5218 compute

This new Dell PowerEdge T440 is a 5U rack server fitted with two Intel Xeon Gold 5218 processors, each running at 2.3 GHz with a 3.9 GHz turbo. The pair delivers 32 physical cores for multi-threaded workloads such as virtualisation, database hosting and software-defined storage. It ships with 32 GB of DDR4-2400 ECC registered memory across 16 slots.

H730P storage controller limits

The Dell PERC H730P controller provides 2 GB cache and 12 Gb/s SAS/SATA connectivity with battery-backed write cache. It supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 plus pass-through mode. The chassis offers eight 2.5-inch hot-swap trays today; the platform can accept up to sixteen bays with additional hardware. Network connectivity is two integrated 1 GbE ports.

Memory and power headroom

Installed memory sits at 32 GB from four 8 GB modules, leaving twelve empty slots to reach the 1 TB maximum. Dual 750 W platinum hot-swap power supplies give redundant power for full configurations. iDRAC 9 Express handles remote management. The server includes no drives, front bezel or rack rails. Builders needing more than eight drive bays or 10 GbE networking must add those separately.

Questions about this item

Should I pick the 16-bay chassis with 8 trays or wait for a fully populated version?

The chassis supports 16 hot-swap 2.5" bays and ships with 8 trays installed; you can add the remaining trays later without tools.

What does the 2.3 GHz base and 3.9 GHz turbo mean when both Gold 5218 CPUs are running a heavy database workload?

Each Gold 5218 runs at 2.3 GHz base and can boost to 3.9 GHz on active cores, giving 32 total cores for sustained throughput under load.

Does the H730P controller limit my choice of SAS or SATA drives to a specific speed tier?

The H730P is a 12 Gb/s SAS/SATA controller, so it caps drive links at 12 Gb/s while supporting RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60.
