DELL PowerEdge R440 1U rack server 2x Xeon 5118 12C 2.3GHz 16GB DDR4 8x 600GB SAS HBA330 2x550W

Compact 1U rack server for dense deployments

The Dell PowerEdge R440 is a 1U rackmount server built for space-efficient data centre environments. It ships with two Intel Xeon Gold 5118 processors, each offering 12 cores at a 2.3GHz base frequency with 3.2GHz turbo. The system includes 16GB of DDR4-2400 ECC registered memory and eight 600GB 10K SAS hard drives managed by a PERC HBA330 controller. Dual 550W platinum power supplies and iDRAC9 Express remote management complete the package.

Suits virtualisation and general business workloads

This configuration fits organisations running virtual machines, application hosting, or database tasks that benefit from 24 total cores and fast 10K SAS storage. The single 1U chassis maximises rack density while providing redundant power and integrated gigabit networking. Buyers who require more than 16GB memory, additional PCIe cards, or solid-state storage should evaluate larger platforms. The front bezel and ready rails are not included, so factor those into rack planning.

16GB DDR4-2400 ECC memory limits capacity

The installed memory consists of two 8GB DDR4-2400 ECC registered DIMMs, totalling 16GB. This capacity determines how many virtual machines or application instances can run simultaneously without swapping. If the workload demands more memory than the current 16GB, the server will need additional DIMMs installed before deployment.
