Dual Xeon Gold 5118 5U Server

This Dell PowerEdge T440 is a 5U rack server equipped with two Intel Xeon Gold 5118 processors running at 2.3 GHz with a 3.2 GHz turbo frequency. It provides 24 total cores and 128 GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory across four 32 GB modules. The system includes a PERC H730P storage controller with 2 GB cache and four 960 GB SATA SSDs installed in 2.5 inch hot-swap bays.

Virtualisation and database workloads

The dual-processor configuration and large memory capacity suit virtualisation platforms such as VMware ESXi, Hyper-V or Proxmox VE, as well as database hosting and file storage. Buyers who require more than two sockets, more than 16 drive bays or a form factor other than 5U rackmount should consider other platforms. The integrated dual-port Gigabit Ethernet and iDRAC 9 Express remote management support standard data-centre operations.

16-bay 2.5-inch storage chassis

The chassis provides sixteen 2.5 inch hot-swap drive bays with SATA and SAS support through the H730P controller, which offers RAID levels 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60. This bay count and controller combination determines how many drives can be added and which RAID topologies are available. Redundant 750 W platinum power supplies are included for continuous operation.

Questions about this item

How should I choose between the dual 12-core Xeon Gold 5118 processors and the 128GB DDR4-2400 memory configuration?

The server arrives with two Intel Xeon Gold 5118 CPUs running at 2.3GHz with 3.2GHz turbo, each providing 12 cores. Memory is populated as four 32GB DDR4-2400 ECC registered DIMMs across 16 slots, leaving room to expand toward the 1TB maximum.

What does the 2.3GHz base and 3.2GHz turbo clock mean for actual workloads?

The 2.3GHz base clock delivers steady throughput for sustained tasks such as database hosting or virtualization. The 3.2GHz turbo engages automatically on lighter-threaded bursts, improving single-thread responsiveness without manual tuning.

How does the PERC H730P controller and SATA interface limit the four 960GB SSDs?

The Dell PERC H730P 2GB controller connects to the drives over a 12Gb/s SAS/SATA link. Each 960GB SSD runs at SATA 6Gb/s, so the interface caps sequential throughput at roughly 6Gb/s per drive while the controller manages RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 or 60 across the array.
