DELL PowerEdge R440 1U rack server 2x Xeon 5118 2.3GHz 32GB 4x 8TB HDD HBA330 2x 550W

Dense 1U server with dual Xeon 5118

The Dell PowerEdge R440 is a 1U rack server built for space-constrained data centres and virtualisation clusters. It ships with two Intel Xeon Gold 5118 processors running at 2.3 GHz with 3.2 GHz turbo across 12 cores each. Memory is 32 GB of DDR4-2400 ECC registered DIMMs. Storage uses a PERC HBA330 controller and four 8 TB 7.2K SATA 3.5-inch drives. Dual 550 W platinum power supplies provide redundancy.

Suits dense virtualisation and storage workloads

Organisations that need high core counts in a single rack unit for hypervisor hosts, database nodes or file serving will match this configuration. The four 3.5-inch bays and HBA330 controller limit internal expansion to SATA and SAS hard drives. Buyers who require more than four drive bays, GPU compute, or front bezel and rail kits included should evaluate alternative platforms.

Four 3.5-inch bays with HBA330 SAS/SATA controller

The chassis provides exactly four hot-plug 3.5-inch drive bays connected to the PERC HBA330 12 Gb/s SAS/SATA storage controller. This fixes the maximum internal drive count at four and restricts media to SAS or SATA hard drives and solid-state drives. Confirm that the bay count and controller interface meet your capacity and protocol requirements before purchase.
