DELL PowerEdge R440 1U Rack Server 2x Xeon Gold 6130 2.1GHz 64GB DDR4 8x 600GB SAS HBA330 2x 550W

Dell PowerEdge R440 1U Server

This Dell PowerEdge R440 is a 1U rackmount server system built for data centre deployment. It ships with two Intel Xeon Gold 6130 processors running at 2.1GHz with a 3.7GHz turbo frequency. The system includes 64GB of DDR4-2666 ECC registered memory across four modules. Eight 600GB 10K SAS drives and a PERC HBA330 controller provide the storage foundation.

Suits virtualisation and dense rack workloads

The dual 16-core processors and 64GB memory suit virtualisation hosts, application servers and database workloads in space-constrained racks. Eight 2.5-inch drive bays with 12Gb/s SAS support offer local storage for mixed read and write patterns. Organisations needing more than eight drive bays, additional PCIe expansion slots, higher memory capacity or redundant remote management licensing should evaluate larger chassis configurations.

Storage limited to eight 2.5-inch SAS bays

The single specification that decides fit is the eight-bay 2.5-inch SAS backplane paired with the HBA330 controller. This fixes maximum internal drive count at eight and limits the interface to 12Gb/s SAS or SATA. Buyers requiring more drive slots, different drive form factors or a hardware RAID controller with cache must choose a different server platform.
