DELL PowerEdge R440 1U rack server 2x Xeon Gold 6130 2.1GHz 16-core 128GB DDR4 8x 960GB SSD H730P 2x 550W

Compact 1U Server for Dense Racks

The Dell PowerEdge R440 is a 1U rack server built for data-centre density. It carries two Intel Xeon Gold 6130 processors, each with 16 cores at 2.1 GHz and a 3.7 GHz turbo frequency. The system includes 128 GB of DDR4-2666 ECC registered memory, a PERC H730P controller with 2 GB cache, eight 960 GB SATA SSDs, dual 1 GbE ports and iDRAC 9 Express remote management. Dual 550 W platinum power supplies provide redundancy.

Suited to Virtualisation and Storage Workloads

This configuration fits organisations running virtualised applications, databases or cloud services that benefit from high core counts and fast SATA solid-state storage in a single rack unit. The 12 Gb/s SAS/SATA controller supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 for flexible data protection. Buyers who need front bezel and ready rails included, or who require more than eight 2.5-inch drive bays in 1U, should evaluate other platforms.

Eight 960 GB SATA SSDs and RAID Controller

The storage subsystem combines eight enterprise-class 960 GB SATA 6 Gb/s 2.5-inch SSDs with the H730P RAID controller and battery-backed cache. This pairing determines whether the usable capacity, redundancy level and I/O performance match the intended workload. Verify that the RAID modes offered meet the application’s availability and throughput requirements before deployment.
