DELL PowerEdge T440 5U rack server 2x Xeon Gold 5120 2.2GHz 14-core 128GB DDR4 H330 16-bay 2.5

Dual Xeon Gold 5120 14-core server

The Dell PowerEdge T440 is a 5U rack server equipped with two Intel Xeon Gold 5120 processors, each running at 2.2 GHz with a 3.2 GHz turbo frequency and 14 cores. It arrives with 128 GB of DDR4-2400 ECC registered memory installed across four 32 GB modules and includes a Dell PERC H330 storage controller. The chassis provides sixteen 2.5-inch hot-swap drive bays, though only four drive trays are supplied, and dual 750 W platinum power supplies deliver redundant power.

Virtualisation and database hosting platform

This server suits organisations that need a high core count for virtualisation platforms such as VMware ESXi, Hyper-V or Proxmox, as well as for database workloads and software-defined storage. Buyers who require more than two processor sockets or memory beyond the 1 TB maximum should look at larger platforms, and anyone needing a greater number of drive trays or a different RAID feature set will need additional accessories.

16-bay 2.5-inch hot-swap capacity

The defining specification is the sixteen 2.5-inch hot-swap drive bays combined with the PERC H330 controller, which determines how many SAS or SATA drives can be installed and what RAID levels are available. Matching this bay count and controller to your storage plan confirms whether the T440 fits the deployment.
