DELL PowerEdge R440 1U rack server 2x Xeon Silver 4114 2.2GHz 16GB DDR4 H730P

Compact 1U rack server for dense compute

This new Dell PowerEdge R440 is a 1U rackmount server built for businesses that need high core density in a small footprint. It ships with two Intel Xeon Silver 4114 processors running at 2.2 GHz with a 3.0 GHz turbo, each providing ten cores for a total of twenty threads. The system includes 16 GB of DDR4-2400 ECC registered memory across two modules and a Dell PERC H730P storage controller with 2 GB cache supporting RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60.

Suits virtualization hosts needing many threads

This configuration fits IT teams running hypervisors, application servers or database instances where thread count matters more than single-thread speed. The dual ten-core CPUs and ECC memory provide a solid base for consolidated workloads. Buyers who need local storage out of the box should look elsewhere because no drives are installed and the four 3.5-inch bays ship with fillers only. Organisations requiring front bezel or ready rails must source them separately.

Four 3.5-inch bays with H730P RAID controller

The single specification that decides fit is the storage subsystem: four 3.5-inch drive bays backed by a PERC H730P controller offering 12 Gb/s SAS and SATA connectivity with battery-backed cache. This combination determines which drives can be used and which RAID levels are available. The server includes dual 550 W platinum power supplies and iDRAC9 Express for remote management, but storage capacity and performance depend entirely on the drives you add.
