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

DELL

DELL PowerEdge R440 rack server 2x Xeon 5118 2.3GHz 12-core 32GB DDR4 HBA330 8x 1.92TB SSD 2x 550W PSU

SKU CH-VHN0-GZM5Y

A compact 1U rack server with dual 12-core Xeon processors at 2.3 GHz, 32 GB DDR4 ECC memory, an HBA330 storage controller, and eight 1.92 TB SATA SSDs powered by redundant 550 W supplies

  • Dual Xeon Gold 5118 processors deliver 24 cores at 2.3 GHz base with 3.2 GHz turbo
  • 32 GB DDR4-2400 ECC memory ensures reliable operation for virtualization and database workloads
  • PERC HBA330 controller manages eight 1.92 TB SATA SSDs for high-capacity storage
  • Dual 550 W platinum power supplies provide redundant power for continuous uptime
  • iDRAC 9 Express enables remote monitoring and administration from anywhere

Target Workloads

The Dell PowerEdge R440 is a 1U rack server built for dense data-centre deployments and virtualization workloads. It suits IT teams that need high core counts and all-flash storage in a single rack unit. The dual 12-core Xeon processors and eight enterprise SSDs support database, cloud and application hosting roles. Buyers needing GPU acceleration or larger memory footprints should look elsewhere.

Thermal and Power Profile

Two 550 W platinum-efficiency power supplies provide redundancy while the 1U chassis manages airflow across the Xeon 5118 CPUs and DDR4-2400 modules. The HBA330 controller and eight 1.92 TB SATA SSDs add steady storage throughput without extreme heat density. Fan speeds scale with CPU turbo up to 3.2 GHz, keeping acoustics typical for a 1U rackmount in a cooled aisle.

Included Controller and Management

The PERC HBA330 12 Gb/s SAS/SATA controller presents the eight 2.5-inch drives to the OS without RAID overhead, simplifying software-defined storage configurations. iDRAC 9 Express enables remote power cycling, firmware updates and hardware health monitoring over the dual 1 GbE ports. Front bezel and ready rails are not supplied, so rack-mounting hardware must be sourced separately.

Questions about this item

How do I install the HBA330 storage controller and which step is often missed?

Seat the HBA330 into the dedicated internal PCIe slot, connect the two mini-SAS cables to the backplane, then enable the controller in the BIOS before the OS sees the drives.

Which components in this R440 will need replacement first during long-term operation?

The two 550 W Platinum power supplies and the eight 1.92 TB SATA SSDs are the primary field-replaceable units that age with write cycles and thermal stress.

What limit appears first when the dual Xeon 5118 CPUs run sustained workloads?

The 1U chassis airflow and dual 550 W PSU capacity constrain total thermal and power headroom before the 2.3 GHz base or 3.2 GHz turbo frequencies become the bottleneck.
