DELL PowerEdge R440 1U rack server 2x Xeon Silver 4114 2.2GHz 10C 128GB DDR4 4x 4TB SATA HBA330 2x 550W

Compact 1U rack server for dense deployments

The Dell PowerEdge R440 is a 1U rackmount server built for space-efficient data centre deployment. It ships with two Intel Xeon Silver 4114 processors running at 2.2 GHz with a 3.0 GHz turbo frequency, each providing 10 cores. The system includes 128 GB of DDR4-2400 ECC registered memory across 16 slots and four 3.5-inch 4 TB 7.2K SATA drives managed by a PERC HBA330 controller. Dual 550 W platinum power supplies and iDRAC9 Express remote management complete the package.

Suited for virtualization hosts

This configuration fits organisations running virtualisation, application hosting or database workloads that benefit from high core counts and large SATA capacity in a single rack unit. The HBA330 controller provides 12 Gb/s SAS and SATA connectivity without RAID overhead, ideal for software-defined storage layers. Buyers needing hardware RAID, more than four drive bays, or front bezel and ready rails included should evaluate other options.

Four 3.5-inch SATA bays define storage limits

The chassis supports exactly four 3.5-inch hot-swap SATA drives, so total raw capacity is fixed at 16 TB with the supplied 4 TB units. Expansion beyond this requires external enclosures or a different server model. The PERC HBA330 operates in HBA mode only, presenting drives directly to the operating system for software RAID or filesystem management.
