DELL PowerEdge R440 1U Rack Server 2x Xeon Silver 4114 2.2GHz 10 Core 32GB DDR4 4x 4TB 7.2K SATA H330 2x 550W

Compact 1U rack server for dense deployments

The Dell PowerEdge R440 is a 1U rackmount server built for data centres and virtualization workloads where rack space is at a premium. Two Intel Xeon Silver 4114 processors run at 2.2 GHz with a 3.0 GHz turbo, each providing ten cores for multi-threaded applications. The system ships with 32 GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory across sixteen slots, supporting up to 1 TB total capacity. It targets IT teams needing reliable compute density in a single rack unit.

Hot-swap power and front 3.5-inch drive bays

Redundant 550 W platinum power supplies are hot-swappable, allowing maintenance without downtime. Four front-access 3.5-inch bays hold the included 4 TB 7.2K SATA drives, managed by a PERC H330 controller with 12 Gb/s SAS and SATA support. Dual integrated gigabit Ethernet ports handle network connectivity, while iDRAC 9 Express provides remote monitoring and administration. The front bezel and ready rails are not included, so plan for separate rack-mount hardware.

Upgrade from older 2U or tower systems

This server replaces bulkier 2U or tower platforms when rack density and power efficiency become priorities. The jump is worth it for workloads that benefit from twenty total cores and DDR4 ECC memory but do not require larger drive counts or additional PCIe expansion beyond the 1U constraint. Organisations needing more than four drives or extra add-in cards should evaluate larger chassis options instead.
