1. PCIe Host Interface: Dell PowerEdge T440 supports PCIe Gen3 (PCIe 3.0), and provides a single PCIe 3.0 x16 slot (16 bandwidth).

2. Boot RAID Support (NVMe arrays used to boot a system): The Dell T440 supports UEFI BIOS mode and provides Option ROM support, and appears to be able to support bootable NVMe RAID configurations.

3. Data RAID Support (NVMe arrays used for data storage): There are no apparent restrictions for data-only storage configurations

4. Recommended Controllers:

• Bootable Configurations: SSD7103, SSD7202
• Maximum Performance: We would recommend the SSD7101A-1. However, Cross-Sync is not recommended, as the other PCIe slots are x8 or x4.
• Maximum Storage Capacity: Would recommend the 8-port SSD7140 (M.2).
