DELL PowerEdge T440 5U rack server 2x Xeon Silver 4110 2.1GHz 256GB DDR4 4x 960GB SSD HBA330 2x 750W PSU

Purpose-built 5U tower server

The Dell PowerEdge T440 is a 5U tower server that supports an optional rack conversion kit for flexible deployment. Two Intel Xeon Silver 4110 processors run at 2.1 GHz with a 3.0 GHz turbo frequency, providing 16 cores total. The system includes 256 GB of DDR4-2400 ECC registered memory across eight DIMM slots.

Virtualisation hosts and storage workloads

This configuration suits organisations running VMware ESXi, Microsoft Hyper-V or Proxmox VE virtualisation, as well as database hosting, file services and backup targets. The PERC HBA330 controller and four 960 GB SATA SSDs deliver solid-state capacity for read-intensive tasks. Buyers who require more than 1 TB of total memory capacity or need additional drive bays beyond the sixteen 2.5-inch hot-swap slots should evaluate larger platforms.

Sixteen 2.5-inch hot-swap drive bays

The chassis provides sixteen 2.5-inch hot-swap bays that accept SATA and SAS devices, enabling up to 12 Gb/s throughput through the HBA330 controller. This bay count determines how many drives can be installed internally without external enclosures. Redundant 750 W platinum power supplies and iDRAC 9 Express remote management complete the core infrastructure.
