Silver 1U rack server with eight 2.5 inch drive bays front bezel missing

DELL

DELL PowerEdge R440 1U rack server 2x Xeon Silver 4114 2.2GHz 10-core 16GB DDR4 8x 1.8TB SAS H730P 2x 550W

SKU CH-8SQJ-01AA3

1U rack server with dual 10-core Xeon Silver 4114 CPUs, 16GB DDR4, eight 1.8TB SAS drives and H730P RAID controller

  • Dual Xeon Silver 4114 CPUs provide 10 cores each at 2.2 GHz
  • 16 GB DDR4 ECC memory ensures reliable operation for virtualization workloads
  • PERC H730P controller supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50, 60 with battery backup
  • Eight 1.8 TB 10K SAS drives deliver high-capacity storage in 2.5" bays
  • Dual 550 W platinum power supplies and iDRAC9 Express enable remote management and redundancy

Dense 1U server for virtualization and databases

The Dell PowerEdge R440 is a 1U rack server built for dense environments running virtualization, cloud, or database workloads. It ships with two Intel Xeon Silver 4114 processors at 2.2 GHz with a 3.0 GHz turbo, each providing ten cores. Sixteen gigabytes of DDR4-2400 ECC registered memory and eight 1.8 TB 10K SAS drives on a PERC H730P controller complete the base configuration. Dual 550 W platinum power supplies and iDRAC9 Express remote management are included.

Storage speed limited by 12 Gb/s SAS interface

The PERC H730P controller operates at 12 Gb/s over SAS and SATA links, which caps the maximum throughput of the eight installed 1.8 TB drives. RAID levels 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50, and 60 are supported along with pass-through mode, but the 12 Gb/s bus remains the ceiling for aggregate array performance. The 10K rotational speed of the drives also bounds random I/O latency compared with solid-state media. Integrated dual-port Gigabit Ethernet provides network connectivity without consuming a PCIe slot.

Verify rack depth and memory expansion needs

The 1U form factor requires a rack with sufficient depth for the chassis and cable management; front bezel and ready rails are not included. Only 16 GB of DDR4-2400 ECC registered memory is installed across two slots, so larger virtualization hosts will need additional DIMMs that match the registered ECC specification. PCIe expansion is available for extra network or storage controllers, but the 1U height restricts cards to low-profile form factors. Ensure the operating environment can supply redundant power to both 550 W units.

Questions about this item

Should I choose the 1.8TB SAS drives or add SATA SSDs for the H730P controller?

The server ships with eight 1.8TB 10K SAS drives on the H730P controller. The same controller also accepts SATA SSDs, so you can mix drive types across the eight 2.5-inch bays.

What does the 2.2GHz base clock with 3.0GHz turbo mean for a virtualization host?

Each Xeon Silver 4114 runs at 2.2GHz base and can boost to 3.0GHz across its 10 cores, giving consistent multi-thread throughput for VM density.

Does the 12Gb/s SAS backplane limit drive speed in practice?

The 12Gb/s SAS interface matches the drives and H730P controller, so mechanical 10K disks run at their native transfer rate without bottleneck.
