Enterprise 5U server for virtualization and storage

The Dell PowerEdge T440 is a 5U rack server built for virtualization, database hosting and software-defined storage. Dual Intel Xeon Gold 5218 processors deliver 16 cores each at 2.3 GHz with 3.9 GHz turbo, while 64 GB of DDR4-2400 ECC registered memory supports demanding multi-tenant workloads. Sixteen 2.5-inch hot-swap bays provide dense local storage capacity.

Sustained performance

Under continuous load the PERC H730P controller with 2 GB cache accelerates RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 arrays across four 960 GB SATA SSDs, maintaining consistent throughput for database and backup jobs. Dual 750 W platinum power supplies share the load and allow hot-swap replacement without downtime. iDRAC 9 Express enables remote firmware updates and thermal monitoring during extended operations.

Sixteen drive bays and PCIe expansion for growth

The chassis holds up to sixteen 2.5-inch SAS or SATA drives, letting administrators add capacity without external enclosures. PCIe slots accept additional RAID controllers, network adapters or GPU accelerators as requirements change. Front bezel and ready rails are not included, so rack mounting hardware must be sourced separately for cabinet deployment.

Questions about this item

How much power do the dual 750W Platinum supplies draw when the two Xeon Gold 5218 CPUs run at 2.3GHz all day?

Each supply is rated at 750W Platinum efficiency; actual draw depends on workload but the redundant pair ensures continuous operation under full CPU load.

Which drive trays and cables are needed to populate the remaining twelve 2.5-inch bays beyond the four 960GB SSDs?

The chassis provides sixteen hot-swap 2.5-inch bays; the H730P controller uses SAS/SATA cables and standard Dell SFF trays for additional drives.

Can the PERC H730P 2GB controller manage RAID across the installed 960GB SATA SSDs and older 2.5-inch SAS drives I already own?

Yes, the H730P supports RAID 0/1/5/6/10/50/60 and pass-through for mixed SATA and SAS 2.5-inch drives on the same backplane.
