Dell PowerEdge T440 5U Server

This Dell PowerEdge T440 is a 5U tower server that supports optional rack conversion. It ships with two Intel Xeon Silver 4214 processors running at 2.2GHz with a 3.2GHz turbo frequency. Each processor provides 12 cores for a total of 24 cores across the system. The system includes 64GB of DDR4-2400 ECC registered memory installed across four slots.

Virtualization and storage workloads

The configuration suits organisations running VMware ESXi, Microsoft Hyper-V, or Proxmox VE virtualisation clusters. It also fits database hosting, file storage, backup targets, and software-defined storage deployments. Buyers who need integrated GPU compute, higher-speed networking out of the box, or a front bezel and rack rails included should evaluate other models that provide those features.

PERC HBA330 storage controller

The Dell PERC HBA330 12Gb/s SAS/SATA controller manages the eight included 2.5-inch drive trays within the 16-bay chassis. This HBA passes drives through to the operating system without hardware RAID, so administrators planning hardware RAID arrays will need a different PERC controller. The server supports SAS, SATA, and SSD storage devices across its hot-swap bays.
