DELL PowerEdge T440 5U rack server 2x Xeon Gold 5218 2.3GHz 32GB DDR4 H330 16x 2.5" trays 2x 750W

Purpose-built 5U server

The Dell PowerEdge T440 is a 5U rack server equipped with two Intel Xeon Gold 5218 processors running at 2.3GHz with a 3.9GHz turbo frequency. Sixteen cores per processor provide 32 total cores for multi-threaded workloads. The system ships with 32GB of DDR4-2400 ECC registered memory across 16 DIMM slots, supporting up to 1TB total capacity. A PERC H330 controller manages storage connectivity.

Suited for virtualization and storage density

This configuration suits organisations deploying virtualisation platforms such as VMware ESXi, Hyper-V or Proxmox VE, as well as database hosting, file services and software-defined storage. The sixteen 2.5-inch hot-swap drive bays allow high storage density in a single chassis. Buyers who require pre-installed drives, a front bezel, rack rails, or GPU-accelerated compute should evaluate other options.

Sustained load behaviour

Dual 750W platinum-efficiency power supplies deliver redundant hot-swap power for continuous operation. The PERC H330 provides 12Gb/s SAS and SATA connectivity without a dedicated cache, so write-heavy workloads under sustained load will reflect that design. Integrated dual-port Gigabit Ethernet and iDRAC 9 Express remote management maintain network access and out-of-band control during extended duty cycles.
