DELL PowerEdge R440 1U rack server 2x Xeon Silver 4114 2.2GHz 10-core 256GB DDR4 8x 1.92TB SATA HBA330 2x550W

Compact 1U Rack Server for Dense Deployments

The Dell PowerEdge R440 is a 1U rackmount server built for space-efficient data centre deployment. Dual Intel Xeon Silver 4114 processors at 2.2GHz with 3.0GHz Turbo provide 10 cores each for enterprise workloads. The platform suits virtualization, cloud infrastructure and business applications where rack density matters.

Storage Controller and Network Limits

Eight 2.5-inch drive bays connect through a PERC HBA330 12Gb/s SAS/SATA controller. The HBA330 presents drives without hardware RAID, so redundancy must be handled in software or by the operating system. Two integrated Gigabit Ethernet ports set the network ceiling at 1GbE unless a PCIe adapter is added. Memory runs at DDR4-2400 across 8x 32GB ECC registered modules.

Build Quality and Day-to-Day Implications

Platinum-efficiency 550W power supplies operate in redundant pairs for continuous uptime. Hot-plug 1.92TB SATA SSDs allow drive replacement without shutdown. iDRAC 9 Express enables remote power control, console access and hardware monitoring over a dedicated management port. Front bezel and ready rails are not included, so separate mounting hardware is required for rack installation.
