Compact 1U rack server for virtualisation
The Dell PowerEdge R440 is a 1U rackmount server built for dense data-centre deployments. It ships with two Intel Xeon Gold 5118 processors, each offering 12 cores at 2.3 GHz with a 3.2 GHz turbo frequency. Memory consists of 64 GB of DDR4-2400 ECC registered DIMMs across four 16 GB modules. A PERC HBA330 controller manages eight 1.92 TB SATA SSDs in 2.5-inch bays, while dual 550 W platinum power supplies and iDRAC9 Express complete the package.
Suited to virtualisation hosts
This configuration targets organisations running virtual machines, databases or file services that benefit from all-flash capacity and dual-processor throughput. The 1U form factor maximises rack density, and the HBA330 presents drives without RAID abstraction for software-defined storage layers. Buyers who need hardware RAID levels or a PERC cache module should look elsewhere, as the supplied controller operates in HBA mode only. Workloads requiring more than 64 GB of memory or additional PCIe cards will also need a different chassis.
Eight 1.92 TB SATA SSDs on HBA330
The storage subsystem centres on eight Dell Enterprise 1.92 TB SATA 6 Gb/s solid-state drives connected to the PERC HBA330 12 Gb/s controller. This combination delivers raw flash capacity in a non-RAID presentation, letting the operating system or hypervisor manage redundancy and tiering directly. If the deployment depends on a hardware RAID controller with battery-backed cache, this server does not meet that requirement.

Questions about this item
Will the eight 1.92TB SATA SSDs or the HBA330 controller need scheduled replacement?
Enterprise SATA SSDs and the HBA330 controller have no scheduled replacement interval; monitor SMART health and replace individual drives only when wear indicators or errors appear.
What limit appears first when both Xeon Gold 5118 processors run sustained all-core workloads?
The 550W Platinum power supplies cap total system power; sustained all-core turbo on both 12-core CPUs plus eight SSDs will hit that limit before thermal throttling occurs.
How loud and hot does the 1U chassis get with both 550W PSUs loaded all day?
Dual Platinum PSUs run efficiently; the 1U fans spin higher under continuous load, producing noticeable airflow noise and exhaust heat typical for dense rack servers.
