5U Server with Dual Xeon Gold 5120

The Dell PowerEdge T440 is a 5U rack server equipped with two Intel Xeon Gold 5120 processors, each running at 2.2 GHz with 14 cores and a 3.2 GHz turbo frequency. It ships with 16 GB of DDR4-2400 ECC registered memory across 16 DIMM slots and a PERC HBA330 storage controller supporting 12 Gb/s SAS and SATA drives. Eight 2.5-inch hot-swap drive trays are installed in a 16-bay chassis, alongside dual 1 GbE ports, iDRAC 9 Express management, and redundant 750 W platinum power supplies.

Virtualisation and Storage Workloads

This configuration suits organisations deploying virtualisation hosts, database servers, file storage or backup targets that need high core counts and dense 2.5-inch drive capacity. The dual-socket design and 1 TB maximum memory ceiling support demanding multi-threaded applications. Buyers who need pre-installed drives, GPU acceleration, or a tower form factor without rack conversion should evaluate other platforms.

PERC HBA330 12 Gb/s SAS/SATA Controller

The installed Dell PERC HBA330 provides 12 Gb/s SAS and SATA connectivity for the eight populated drive trays and the remaining eight empty bays. It operates in HBA mode without RAID functionality, so administrators requiring hardware RAID levels must add a compatible PERC RAID controller. The controller choice directly determines whether the server can present logical volumes or only pass-through disks to the operating system.
