DELL PowerEdge T440 5U rack server 2x Xeon Gold 5120 2.2GHz 14C 16GB DDR4 HBA330 2x 750W PSU

Dual Xeon Gold 5120 Server

The Dell PowerEdge T440 is a 5U rack server fitted with two Intel Xeon Gold 5120 processors running at 2.2 GHz with a 3.2 GHz turbo. Fourteen cores per CPU provide twenty-eight threads for multi-threaded workloads. Sixteen gigabytes of DDR4-2400 ECC registered memory are installed across two modules in a sixteen-slot chassis that supports up to one terabyte total.

Virtualisation hosts needing density and expansion

This system suits teams consolidating VMware, Hyper-V or Proxmox workloads where core count and drive bay quantity matter. The HBA330 controller and sixteen 2.5-inch hot-swap bays allow large SAS or SATA arrays without a hardware RAID card. Buyers who require pre-installed drives, an integrated RAID processor, GPU compute slots or a bezel and rails included should evaluate other configurations.

Sixteen 2.5-inch hot-swap bays with HBA330

The chassis accepts up to sixteen small-form-factor SAS, SATA or SSD drives served by a twelve-gigabit HBA330 controller. No drives ship with the unit so storage capacity and redundancy are entirely chosen at build time. This bay count and controller combination determines whether the platform fits a software-defined storage or backup target role.
