DELL PowerEdge R440 1U rack server 2x Xeon Silver 4114 2.2GHz 10-core 256GB DDR4 4x 8TB HDD HBA330 2x 550W PSU

1U rack server with dual Xeon Silver 4114

The Dell PowerEdge R440 is a 1U rackmount server built for dense data-centre deployments. It ships with two Intel Xeon Silver 4114 processors, each providing 10 cores at 2.2GHz with a 3.0GHz turbo frequency. The system includes 256GB of DDR4-2400 ECC registered memory across eight 32GB modules. A PERC HBA330 controller manages four 8TB 3.5-inch 7.2K SATA drives, while dual-port Gigabit Ethernet and iDRAC 9 Express handle connectivity and remote management. Redundant 550W platinum power supplies complete the configuration.

Suited for virtualisation

This server fits organisations that need high core counts and large SATA capacity in a single rack unit. The dual-processor layout and 256GB memory pool support multiple virtual machines or container hosts. Four 3.5-inch bays filled with 8TB enterprise drives deliver 32TB raw storage for backups, archives or file serving. Buyers who need more than four drive bays, additional PCIe slots beyond the 1U limit, or a different drive interface should evaluate alternative platforms.

32TB raw SATA capacity in four 3.5-inch bays

The storage subsystem centres on four Dell Enterprise 8TB 7.2K SATA 6Gb/s hard drives, providing 32TB of raw capacity managed by the HBA330 12Gb/s SAS/SATA controller. This combination determines whether the system meets capacity and throughput requirements for bulk data workloads. The 1U form factor locks the bay count at four, so expansion beyond this array requires external enclosures or a different chassis.
