Dell PowerEdge T440 5U Tower Server

This Dell PowerEdge T440 is a new 5U tower server built for enterprise workloads. Two Intel Xeon Gold 5118 processors deliver twenty-four cores at 2.3 GHz with a 3.2 GHz turbo. The system includes 256 GB of DDR4-2400 ECC registered memory across eight modules and a PERC HBA330 storage controller. Four 960 GB SATA SSDs occupy four of sixteen 2.5-inch hot-swap bays. Dual 750 W platinum power supplies provide redundancy.

Suited for virtualisation and storage-heavy tasks

The sixteen-bay chassis and HBA330 controller make this server a strong fit for virtualisation hosts, database workloads, software-defined storage and backup targets. Buyers who need RAID offload, hardware encryption or cache-backed write performance should look at a model equipped with a PERC RAID controller instead of the HBA330 passthrough adapter.

Sixteen 2.5-inch hot-swap drive bays

The defining specification is the sixteen-bay 2.5-inch hot-swap backplane, which sets the storage ceiling for the platform. Only four bays are populated with 960 GB SATA SSDs today, leaving twelve empty slots for SAS, SATA or additional SSD expansion. No front bezel or rack rails are included with this unit.

Questions about this item

How do I choose between the 12-core 2.3 GHz Xeon Gold 5118 and a higher-core option?

This server ships with two 12-core Gold 5118 CPUs at 2.3 GHz with 3.2 GHz turbo; the socket is LGA 3647 and the board supports a maximum of two processors, so the installed pair already fills the limit.

What does 256 GB of DDR4-2400 ECC registered memory mean for a virtualization host?

The system includes eight 32 GB DDR4-2400 ECC RDIMMs totalling 256 GB; the platform supports up to 1 TB across 16 slots, leaving eight free slots for future expansion.

What does the PERC HBA330 12 Gb/s SAS/SATA controller cap in practice?

The HBA330 provides 12 Gb/s SAS and SATA connectivity to the 16 hot-swap 2.5-inch bays; the four included 960 GB SSDs run at SATA 6 Gb/s, so the controller headroom exceeds the drive interface speed.
