DELL PowerEdge R440 1U rack server 2x Xeon Gold 5118 2.3GHz 128GB DDR4 4x 4TB SATA HBA330 2x 550W PSU

Compact 1U rack server for dense deployments

The Dell PowerEdge R440 is a 1U rackmount server built for space-efficient data centre deployment. It ships with dual Xeon Gold 5118 processors, each delivering twelve cores at 2.3GHz with a 3.2GHz turbo frequency. The system includes 128GB of DDR4-2400 ECC registered memory across eight 16GB modules. This configuration targets organisations that need dependable processing power while maximising rack density.

Sustained throughput from dual processors

Under sustained load the two Xeon Gold 5118 CPUs maintain high clock speeds across all twelve cores per socket, providing consistent throughput for virtualization, database and cloud workloads. The PERC HBA330 controller manages four 4TB 7.2K SATA enterprise hard drives, offering steady sequential performance for bulk storage tasks. Dual 550W platinum power supplies share the load, keeping voltage stable during extended operation.

Straightforward rack install

The 1U chassis slides into standard racks using optional rails; the front bezel and ready rails are not included, so plan for those separately. Drive bays accept 3.5-inch SATA or SAS devices and the HBA330 handles drive detection without RAID complexity. iDRAC 9 Express provides out-of-band remote monitoring and administration from first boot, reducing the need for physical console access during setup.
