DELL PowerEdge R440 1U rack server 2x Xeon Silver 4114 10c 2.2GHz 512GB DDR4 4x 4TB 3.5" HBA330 2x 550W

1U 4-bay rack server for dense compute

The Dell PowerEdge R440 is a 1U rackmount server built for space-constrained data centres and business workloads. Dual Intel Xeon Silver 4114 processors deliver twenty cores at 2.2 GHz with 3.0 GHz turbo for parallel application throughput. Sixteen DDR4-2400 ECC modules provide 512 GB of registered memory for reliable virtualization and database hosting. The PERC HBA330 controller manages four 4 TB 7.2K SATA drives in the front bays.

Virtualisation and storage workloads on a budget

Organisations running virtual machines, application hosting or entry-level databases gain a balanced mix of CPU cores, memory capacity and raw disk space in a single rack unit. iDRAC 9 Express enables remote monitoring and firmware updates without physical access. Buyers who need more than four 3.5-inch drive bays or a hardware RAID controller with cache should evaluate other platforms.

PERC HBA330 12 Gb/s SAS SATA controller

The included HBA330 operates in HBA mode, presenting each attached SAS or SATA device directly to the operating system without RAID abstraction. This suits software-defined storage stacks such as ZFS or Windows Storage Spaces that manage redundancy themselves. If the deployment requires hardware RAID levels with battery-backed write cache, a different PERC card must be sourced separately.
