DELL PowerEdge R440 1U rack server 2x Xeon Gold 5118 2.3GHz 12C 256GB DDR4 8x 1.92TB SSD HBA330 2x 550W PSU

Compact 1U rack server for dense deployments

The Dell PowerEdge R440 is a 1U rackmount server built for space-efficient data centre deployment. Two Intel Xeon Gold 5118 processors deliver 24 cores total at 2.3GHz with 3.2GHz turbo. It includes 256GB DDR4-2400 ECC registered memory and eight 1.92TB SATA SSDs on an HBA330 controller. Integrated dual-port Gigabit Ethernet and iDRAC9 Express remote management complete the platform.

Verify rack depth power and drive compatibility

Confirm your rack can accommodate a 1U chassis and that the two 550 Watt platinum power supplies match your PDU connectors and voltage supply. The front bay accepts eight 2.5-inch SATA or SAS drives; ensure caddies and backplane suit the included SSDs. The PERC HBA330 provides 12Gb/s SAS/SATA connectivity without RAID; plan software or OS-level redundancy if required. No front bezel or ready rails are included, so source mounting hardware separately.

Replaces older 1U servers needing more cores

This system upgrades from earlier single-socket or lower-core 1U servers when workloads demand 24 threads and 256GB ECC memory. The eight 1.92TB SSDs replace smaller or mechanical drive arrays for faster database, virtualization, or cloud storage tiers. The jump is worth it when consolidation ratios, memory capacity, or all-flash latency become bottlenecks. Buyers who need PCIe add-in cards beyond the integrated networking should verify slot availability before ordering.
