DELL PowerEdge R440 1U rack server 2x Xeon Gold 5118 2.3GHz 12C 16GB 8x 1.8TB SAS H730P 2x550W

Compact 1U rack server for dense deployments

The Dell PowerEdge R440 is a 1U rack server built for space-efficient data centre environments. It ships with two Intel Xeon Gold 5118 processors running at 2.3GHz with 12 cores each and a 3.2GHz turbo frequency. The system includes 16GB of DDR4-2400 ECC registered memory in a dual-channel configuration.

Suited for virtualization and storage workloads

This configuration targets organizations running virtualization, application hosting, database workloads, or cloud infrastructure in dense racks. The PERC H730P controller with 2GB cache supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50, 60 and pass-through modes across eight drive bays. Buyers needing larger memory capacity, additional PCIe expansion slots, or higher core counts per socket should evaluate alternative platforms.

Straightforward rack installation

The 1U form factor fits standard racks using the included Ready Rails kit, though the front bezel is not supplied. Dual 550W platinum power supplies provide redundancy; ensure both cords reach separate PDU circuits. Eight 2.5-inch SAS drives and the H730P battery module add weight — support the chassis from underneath when sliding it into the rack. iDRAC9 Express enables remote setup before an operating system is installed.
