DELL PowerEdge T440 5U rack server 2x Xeon Gold 5118 2.3GHz 12-core 256GB DDR4 H730P 8x 2.5" trays 2x 750W

Dual Xeon Gold 5118 5U Server

The Dell PowerEdge T440 is a 5U tower server built for enterprise workloads. Two Intel Xeon Gold 5118 processors deliver 24 total cores at 2.3 GHz with 3.2 GHz turbo. 256 GB of DDR4-2400 ECC registered memory occupies eight of sixteen slots. The PERC H730P controller manages up to sixteen 2.5-inch drive bays with eight trays included.

Virtualization and Database Hosts

This configuration suits IT teams running VMware ESXi, Hyper-V, or Proxmox VE clusters, as well as Microsoft SQL Server and file storage roles. The dual-socket design and large memory capacity support dense virtual machine placement. Buyers who need GPU compute density, a smaller tower footprint without rack conversion, or higher single-thread frequency should evaluate alternative platforms.

Sixteen-Bay 2.5-Inch Storage Capacity

The chassis provides sixteen hot-swap 2.5-inch bays for SAS, SATA, and SSD drives, with eight trays supplied. The H730P 2 GB controller supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50, 60 and pass-through modes. This bay count and controller combination determines how much local storage the server can present to applications.
