DELL PowerEdge R440 1U rack server 2x Xeon Gold 5118 2.3GHz 12-core 256GB DDR4 8x 960GB SSD H730P

Compact 1U server with dual Xeon Gold 5118 CPUs

The Dell PowerEdge R440 is a new 1U rack server equipped with two Intel Xeon Gold 5118 processors running at 2.3 GHz with a 3.2 GHz turbo frequency. Each CPU provides 12 cores for a total of 24 cores. The system includes 256 GB of DDR4-2400 ECC registered memory across eight 32 GB modules and eight 960 GB SATA SSDs managed by a PERC H730P controller with 2 GB cache. Dual 550 W platinum power supplies and iDRAC9 Express remote management complete the configuration.

Suits virtualisation and database hosts needing

This server targets organisations running virtualisation clusters, application hosting or database workloads in space-constrained racks. The dual 12-core processors and large memory capacity support heavy multi-threaded tasks. Buyers who require GPU acceleration, more than eight drive bays, 10 GbE networking or front bezel and rails included should evaluate alternative platforms.

Eight 2.5-inch drive bays with H730P RAID controller

The chassis provides eight 2.5-inch bays populated with enterprise SATA SSDs. The PERC H730P handles RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 plus pass-through mode with battery-backed cache. This storage layout determines whether the system meets capacity and redundancy requirements for the intended workload.
