DELL PowerEdge R440 rack server 2x Xeon Silver 4114 2.2GHz 10 Core 256GB DDR4 8x 960GB SSD HBA330 2x 550W

Compact 1U Rack Server for Dense Deployments

The Dell PowerEdge R440 is a 1U rackmount server system built for space-efficient data centre deployment. It features dual Intel Xeon Silver 4114 processors, each with 10 cores at 2.2GHz and a 3.0GHz turbo frequency. The system includes 256GB of DDR4-2400 ECC registered memory across eight 32GB modules and eight 960GB SATA 6Gb/s 2.5" enterprise SSDs managed by a PERC HBA330 12Gb/s SAS/SATA controller. Dual 550W platinum power supplies and iDRAC 9 Express remote management complete the configuration.

Suited for Virtualisation and Storage Workloads

This server suits organisations running virtualisation, application hosting, database workloads or cloud infrastructure where rack density matters. The eight drive bays provide substantial flash storage capacity in a single rack unit. Buyers needing PCIe add-in cards for GPU compute or additional storage controllers should look at platforms with more expansion slots. The integrated dual-port Gigabit Ethernet adapter may not satisfy environments requiring 10GbE or 25GbE connectivity out of the box.

Eight 2.5-Inch Drive Bays with SAS/SATA HBA

The defining specification is the eight 2.5-inch drive bays paired with the PERC HBA330 12Gb/s SAS/SATA storage controller. This combination determines how many drives you can install and which drive interfaces are supported directly. The HBA330 operates in HBA mode for software-defined storage or JBOD configurations. Verify that your storage software stack supports this controller before purchase.
