DELL PowerEdge R440 1U rack server 2x Xeon Gold 6130 2.1GHz 16-core 64GB DDR4 4x 4TB HDD H730P

Compact 1U rack server

The Dell PowerEdge R440 is a 1U rackmount server built for dense data-centre deployments. It ships with two Intel Xeon Gold 6130 processors running at 2.1 GHz with a 3.7 GHz turbo frequency, providing 16 cores per socket for multi-threaded workloads. The system includes 64 GB of DDR4-2666 ECC registered memory across four modules and a PERC H730P storage controller with 2 GB cache supporting RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60. Four 4 TB 7.2K SATA drives and dual 550 W platinum power supplies complete the configuration.

Virtualisation and storage workloads

This server suits organisations running virtualisation, database or cloud workloads that benefit from high core counts and hardware RAID in a single rack unit. The four 3.5-inch drive bays limit internal capacity to the installed drives, so buyers who need more than four drives should consider a larger chassis. Workloads that require memory beyond 64 GB or processors with higher frequencies will need a different platform.

Four-bay 3.5-inch drive limit

The chassis provides exactly four 3.5-inch drive bays populated with 4 TB SATA disks, and the H730P controller manages them through 12 Gb/s SAS/SATA connectivity. This bay count is the primary constraint for storage expansion; any requirement for additional internal drives demands a different server model. The dual 1 GbE ports and iDRAC 9 Express handle remote management and baseline networking.
