DELL PowerEdge R440 rack server 2x Xeon Gold 6130 2.1GHz 16 Core 128GB DDR4 8x 1.8TB SAS H330 2x 550W

Dense 1U server for virtualised workloads

The Dell PowerEdge R440 packs two Intel Xeon Gold 6130 processors and 128GB of DDR4 ECC memory into a single rack unit. Eight 1.8TB SAS drives sit behind a PERC H330 controller. Integrated dual-port Gigabit Ethernet and iDRAC9 Express handle connectivity and remote management. It targets organisations that need high core density and storage capacity in minimal rack space.

Sustained throughput from 16 cores and 10K spindles

Each Xeon Gold 6130 runs at 2.1GHz with a 3.7GHz turbo ceiling, giving 16 cores per socket for continuous multi-threaded tasks. The 12Gb/s SAS backplane feeds the H330 without bottlenecks while the 10K drives maintain steady IOPS under database or virtualisation loads. Dual 550W platinum supplies share the load, keeping voltage stable during prolonged peak demand. ECC memory corrects single-bit errors before they affect running services.

Slide-in rails required; bezel absent

The chassis accepts standard 1U ready rails, which are not included, so rack mounting hardware must be sourced separately. Eight hot-swap 2.5-inch bays allow drive replacement without tools, but the front bezel is also missing, leaving drive LEDs exposed. Cable routing stays simple with only power cords and two Ethernet links at the rear. iDRAC9 Express is reachable over the network immediately, letting administrators update firmware or monitor sensors before the operating system loads.
