DELL PowerEdge R440 1U rack server 2x Xeon Gold 6130 2.1GHz 16-core 128GB DDR4 8x 1.92TB SSD H730P

Compact 1U rack server for dense deployments

The Dell PowerEdge R440 is a 1U rackmount server system built for business, data centre, virtualisation, cloud and storage workloads. It fits space-constrained racks while delivering enterprise-grade processing power. Organisations maximising rack density will find the form factor suits growing IT infrastructure needs.

Dual Xeon Gold 6130 with PERC H730P storage control

Two Intel Xeon Gold 6130 processors run at 2.1GHz with 3.7GHz turbo across 16 cores total. Memory consists of 128GB DDR4-2666 ECC registered DIMMs in eight 16GB modules. The PERC H730P controller provides 2GB cache and supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50, 60 plus pass-through. Eight 1.92TB SATA 6Gb/s 2.5-inch SSDs populate the front bays. Dual 1GbE ports and iDRAC 9 Express handle networking and remote management. Redundant 550 watt platinum power supplies are included. Front bezel and ready rails are not supplied.

Upgrade from single-socket or HDD-based 1U servers

This configuration replaces older single-socket 1U platforms or systems still using mechanical drives. The jump is worth it when workloads demand 16 cores, 128GB ECC memory and all-flash capacity with hardware RAID in a single rack unit. Buyers who need more drive bays, GPU acceleration or higher single-thread frequency should evaluate larger chassis or newer processor generations.
