DELL PowerEdge T440 5U rack server 2x Xeon Gold 5218 2.3GHz 32GB DDR4 HBA330 16-bay 2.5" 2x 750W

Dual-socket Xeon Gold server

The Dell PowerEdge T440 is a 5U rack server equipped with two Intel Xeon Gold 5218 processors running at 2.3 GHz with a 3.9 GHz turbo frequency. Each CPU provides 16 cores, delivering 32 cores in total for multi-threaded workloads. It ships with 32 GB of DDR4-2400 ECC registered memory across four modules. The system targets virtualization, database hosting, and software-defined storage deployments.

PERC HBA330 storage controller

Storage connectivity is handled by a Dell PERC HBA330 controller operating at 12 Gb/s for SAS and SATA drives. The controller presents drives to the operating system in HBA mode without hardware RAID abstraction. This suits environments that manage redundancy in software such as ZFS, Windows Storage Spaces, or VMware vSAN. Buyers needing a hardware RAID card with cache and battery backup will require a different controller.

16-bay 2.5-inch chassis capacity

The chassis provides sixteen 2.5-inch hot-swap drive bays, with eight trays included in this configuration. Memory can scale to 1 TB across sixteen DDR4 slots for larger virtual machine densities. Dual 750 W platinum power supplies deliver redundant hot-swap power for continuous operation. Workloads demanding GPU acceleration or more than two processors exceed the platform's supported limits.
