Dell PowerEdge T440 tower server with Xeon Gold 6138, 32GB DDR4 ECC memory, PERC H330 and 8TB SAS storage for file serving.
This is a refurbished Dell PowerEdge T440, SKU SRV-DELL-T440-6138-32GB-8TB-H330-02, a two-socket tower server from Dell's 14th generation PowerEdge range, built on the Intel Xeon Scalable platform. This unit is fitted with one Intel Xeon Gold 6138 (20 cores, 40 threads), 32GB of DDR4 ECC RDIMM memory, a Dell PERC H330 RAID controller and two 4TB HGST Ultrastar 12Gb/s SAS hard drives, giving 8TB of raw capacity. It suits offices in Doha and across Qatar that want one on-premises machine for file sharing, backups, CCTV archives and a few virtual machines, without needing a rack or a dedicated server room. The second processor socket and most of the memory slots are free, so the same chassis can grow with the business instead of being replaced.
SRV-DELL-T440-6138-32GB-8TB-H330-02Full configuration
The first rows describe the hardware fitted to this unit. The rows after them are PowerEdge T440 platform specifications, which show what the chassis accepts when you expand it.
What this configuration suits
Compare the workload you have in mind against the fitted components.
The two 4TB SAS drives fit a mirrored RAID 1 array on the PERC H330, giving 4TB of usable, protected space. That is a sensible base for a departmental file server, a backup target or a CCTV recording archive for a small site.
Twenty cores and 40 threads give plenty of headroom for a hypervisor running several light virtual machines, such as a domain controller, a print server and a small application server. With 32GB fitted, memory will run out before processor capacity does, so plan a memory upgrade before adding many virtual machines.
The H330 has no cache, so it is not the right controller for write-heavy databases or busy shared virtual disk storage. For those workloads, add SSDs or move to a cached controller. As a tower, it runs quietly enough for an office and needs no rack.
Upgrade paths
- Memory: the platform has 16 DIMM slots; the fitted 32GB uses only a few of them, leaving most slots free for further DDR4 ECC RDIMMs.
- Processor: the second socket is empty. Adding a second Xeon Gold 6138 doubles the cores to 40 and enables the 8 DIMM slots served by that processor.
- Storage: the chassis supports up to 8 x 3.5 inch or 16 x 2.5 inch drives, so further SAS or SATA drives can be added and the array expanded.
- Rack: an optional kit converts the tower to a 5U rack server if it later moves into a server room.
Compatibility
The T440 takes DDR4 ECC registered memory. Use RDIMMs to match the fitted modules, as RDIMMs and LRDIMMs cannot be mixed in the same server. A second processor must be the same model as the first, here a Xeon Gold 6138, and needs its own heatsink. Additional drives must be fitted in Dell 14th generation drive carriers that suit the bay size of the chassis. The PERC H330 accepts 12Gb/s SAS and 6Gb/s SATA drives, but keep drive types and capacities matched within an array.

Ask on WhatsApp sales@serverdove.comCan a second processor be added to the PowerEdge T440?
Yes. The T440 is a dual-socket server and this configuration has one Xeon Gold 6138 fitted. The second LGA3647 socket accepts another Xeon Scalable processor. It should match the installed Gold 6138 so the pair runs correctly. Adding a second CPU also brings its eight DIMM slots into use. Check that the second socket has a heatsink and that the fitted power supply suits the higher load.
How much usable storage do the two 4TB SAS drives give?
Raw capacity is 8TB. In RAID 1 on the PERC H330, which is the usual choice for two drives, the drives mirror each other and give 4TB usable with tolerance for a single drive failure. RAID 0 gives the full 8TB with no redundancy. More drives can be added to the free bays for RAID 5, 10 or 50 arrays.
Does the PERC H330 have cache memory?
No. The H330 is an entry-level PERC controller with no onboard cache and no battery backup. It supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 10 and 50 and a non-RAID mode that passes drives directly to the operating system. For heavy parity RAID write workloads, a cached controller such as the PERC H730P or H740P is the usual upgrade in 14th generation PowerEdge servers.
Is this server suitable for VMware ESXi or Proxmox?
The T440 is on the hardware lists for VMware ESXi and runs Proxmox VE, Hyper-V and Windows Server. The Gold 6138 supplies 20 cores and 40 threads, which suits several small to medium virtual machines. With 32GB installed, memory is likely to be the first limit for a VM host. Adding RDIMMs is the usual first upgrade.
What memory can be added to the T440?
The T440 has 16 DIMM slots for DDR4 ECC registered (RDIMM) or load-reduced (LRDIMM) modules, eight per processor. With one CPU fitted, only that processor's eight slots are usable. RDIMMs and LRDIMMs should not be mixed. Matching the capacity and rank of the existing 32GB keeps the memory channels balanced.
How does the T440 differ from the T640?
Both are 14th generation dual-socket Dell towers that use Xeon Scalable processors. The T640 is the larger system. It offers 24 DIMM slots, more drive bays and support for full-length GPUs. The T440 has 16 DIMM slots, a smaller chassis and fewer bays. It targets office file, backup and virtualisation roles where the T640's capacity is not needed.
Can the T440 be mounted in a rack?
Yes. The T440 is a rack-convertible tower that occupies 5U when mounted. Conversion needs Dell's tower-to-rack kit, which includes the rails and the parts to replace the tower feet and bezel. Many buyers deploy it as a tower first and move it into a cabinet later.

Why buy refurbished
Enterprise hardware, tested in Doha, at a fraction of the price of new
Every unit we sell has already proven itself in a data centre. We test it again, grade it, and back it with a warranty before it leaves our stock.
Tested before it ships
POST, burn-in, memory and power-supply checks on every unit. Anything that fails is repaired or pulled from stock, not sold.
Same performance, lower cost
A Xeon runs the same workloads whether it is new or two years old. Spend the difference on more CPUs, memory or storage.
In stock, not on order
New enterprise hardware can take weeks or months to arrive. Ours is on the shelf in Doha and delivered across Qatar within a day.
Warranty and local support
Every unit is covered. Installation, configuration and hardware support are handled by our own team in Qatar, not a call centre abroad.
