DELL PowerEdge R440 rack server 2x Xeon Gold 5118 2.3GHz 12 Core 16GB DDR4 8x 1.8TB SAS HBA330 2x 550W PSU

Dual Xeon Gold 5118 12-core server

The Dell PowerEdge R440 is a 1U rack server equipped with two Intel Xeon Gold 5118 processors running at 2.3GHz with a 3.2GHz turbo frequency. Each CPU provides 12 cores for multi-threaded workloads. The system ships with 16GB of DDR4-2400 ECC registered memory in a dual-channel configuration. It targets businesses and data centres needing dense compute for virtualization, cloud or database tasks.

HBA330 controller with eight 1.8TB SAS drives

A Dell PERC HBA330 12Gb/s SAS/SATA controller manages the eight front-accessible 2.5-inch drive bays. The bundle populates every bay with a 1.8TB 10K RPM enterprise SAS hard drive, delivering high-capacity rotational storage out of the box. The HBA330 presents drives directly to the operating system without hardware RAID abstraction, so software-defined storage or ZFS can control redundancy and performance. No front bezel or ready rails are included.

1U form factor with dual 550W platinum supplies

The 1U chassis limits internal expansion to low-profile PCIe cards and the eight 2.5-inch bays already occupied. Cooling and airflow are tuned for this density, so additional high-power add-in cards may exceed thermal headroom. Dual 550 watt platinum-efficiency power supplies provide redundancy for the configured components, but headroom for further upgrades is constrained by the fixed power budget and physical space.
