Dell PowerEdge T440 5U Server

The Dell PowerEdge T440 is a 5U rack-mountable server system built for enterprise workloads. It ships with two Intel Xeon Gold 5218 processors running at 2.3GHz with 3.9GHz turbo capability. The system includes 256GB of DDR4-2400 ECC registered memory across sixteen slots. A PERC HBA330 storage controller manages up to sixteen 2.5-inch drive bays.

Ideal for virtualisation and database hosting

This server suits organisations deploying VMware ESXi, Microsoft Hyper-V or Proxmox VE virtualisation platforms. It supports Microsoft SQL Server, file services and software-defined storage workloads. Buyers needing pre-installed drives or a front bezel with rack rails should look elsewhere as these are not included. The tower chassis requires a separate conversion kit for standard rack mounting.

Dual Xeon Gold 5218 16-core CPUs

Two Intel Xeon Gold 5218 processors deliver thirty-two total cores at 2.3GHz base frequency. Each CPU fits the LGA 3647 socket and supports up to 1TB of DDR4 memory across sixteen DIMM slots. This processor configuration determines the server's compute capacity for multi-threaded applications.

Questions about this item

Should I choose the 256 GB DDR4 configuration or add more memory later?

The system ships with 256 GB across eight 32 GB DDR4-2400 ECC registered modules and has 16 slots supporting up to 1 TB total, so you can expand in matched sets when workloads grow.

What does the 2.3 GHz base clock with 3.9 GHz turbo mean for actual performance?

Each Xeon Gold 5218 runs at 2.3 GHz base and can boost to 3.9 GHz on active cores, giving strong single-thread response and 32 total cores across both processors for parallel workloads.

What does the HBA330 controller cap at for drive throughput?

The Dell PERC HBA330 provides 12 Gb/s SAS and SATA connectivity, so each attached drive is limited by that interface speed rather than the controller itself.
