DELL PowerEdge R440 1U Rack Server 2x Xeon Gold 5118 2.3GHz 12 Core 32GB DDR4 H730P 8x 1.92TB SSD

Dense 1U Server for Virtualisation

The Dell PowerEdge R440 is a 1U rack server built for space-constrained data centres. Two Intel Xeon Gold 5118 processors deliver 24 cores at 2.3 GHz with 3.2 GHz turbo, while 32 GB of DDR4-2400 ECC memory supports reliable virtualisation and cloud workloads. Eight 1.92 TB SATA SSDs sit behind a PERC H730P controller offering RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 plus pass-through. Dual 550 W platinum power supplies provide redundancy in a single rack unit.

Suited to Dense Compute and Storage

This configuration fits organisations running virtual machines, databases or application hosting where rack density matters. The 1U form factor and eight-drive bay layout maximise capacity per rack slot. Buyers who need larger memory footprints, GPU acceleration or additional PCIe expansion slots should evaluate alternative platforms. The server ships without a front bezel or ready rails, so rack-mounting hardware must be sourced separately.

Controller and Management Add Value

The H730P with 2 GB cache and battery-backed write cache enables flexible RAID layouts across all eight SSDs without a separate enclosure. Integrated dual-port Gigabit Ethernet handles baseline connectivity. iDRAC 9 Express gives remote power control, hardware monitoring and firmware updates over a dedicated management port, reducing the need for physical data-centre visits during routine administration.
