Purpose-built server platform

The Dell PowerEdge T440 is a 5U rack-mountable server system equipped with two Intel Xeon Gold 5118 processors running at 2.3GHz with 3.2GHz turbo capability. It ships with 256GB of DDR4-2400 ECC registered memory across eight 32GB modules and includes a Dell PERC H730P 2GB storage controller supporting multiple RAID levels. Sixteen 2.5-inch drive trays provide dense storage capacity in a redundant power configuration.

Ideal deployment scenarios

This server suits organisations deploying virtualisation clusters, database workloads, or software-defined storage using SAS and SATA drives with hardware RAID. The dual-processor design and 16 memory slots allow vertical scaling to 1TB of DDR4 for memory-intensive applications. Buyers needing GPU compute density, tower-only deployment without rack conversion, or storage protocols beyond SAS and SATA should evaluate other platforms.

Deciding specification

The 16-bay 2.5-inch hot-swap backplane paired with the PERC H730P controller defines the storage architecture for this platform. It determines how many drives you can install, which RAID modes are available, and whether your existing SAS or SATA media are compatible. Confirm your capacity and redundancy needs against this bay count and controller feature set before purchasing.

Questions about this item

What does the 2.3 GHz base clock mean for real workloads on the Xeon Gold 5118?

The two Xeon Gold 5118 CPUs run at 2.3 GHz base and can boost to 3.2 GHz, giving 24 total cores for virtualization, databases, and multi-threaded applications.

How does the PERC H730P controller limit drive performance?

The H730P provides 12 Gb/s SAS and SATA connectivity with 2 GB cache, supporting RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50, 60 and pass-through for the 16 drive bays.

What physical space and rails are needed to mount this 5U server?

The chassis occupies 5U of rack height and uses 2.5-inch drive trays; front bezel and ready rails are not included, so you must supply compatible rails for installation.
