DELL PowerEdge T440 5U Rack Server 2x Xeon Gold 5218 2.3GHz 16C 64GB DDR4 H330 4x 960GB SSD

Dual Xeon Gold 5218 5U Server

The Dell PowerEdge T440 is a 5U tower server equipped with two Intel Xeon Gold 5218 processors, each delivering sixteen cores at 2.3GHz with a 3.9GHz turbo frequency. It ships with 64GB of DDR4-2400 ECC registered memory across four modules and a PERC H330 storage controller. Four 960GB SATA SSDs are installed in the 2.5-inch hot-swap bays, making the system ready for virtualization, database hosting or file storage workloads. Integrated dual-port Gigabit Ethernet and iDRAC 9 Express remote management are included.

Sustained multi-threaded throughput

With thirty-two total cores across the dual-socket configuration, the server maintains consistent performance during extended virtualization or database tasks rather than relying on short turbo bursts. The 64GB DDR4-2400 ECC memory capacity supports multiple virtual machines or large in-memory datasets without frequent swapping. The PERC H330 controller manages the four 960GB SSDs with 12Gb/s SAS/SATA connectivity, providing steady I/O for mixed read-write workloads. Twelve remaining 2.5-inch drive bays allow storage expansion as demand grows.

Thermal and power profile

Two 750W platinum-efficiency hot-swap power supplies deliver redundant power for continuous operation under load. The 5U chassis provides generous airflow space for the dual-processor thermal design, keeping component temperatures stable during sustained compute tasks. Acoustic output remains appropriate for a server-room environment rather than a quiet office setting. Power draw scales with processor utilisation and the number of installed drives, supported by the redundant supply architecture.
