Dell PowerEdge R440 1U Server
The Dell PowerEdge R440 is a 1U rackmount server built for dense data-center deployments. It ships with two Intel Xeon Gold 5118 processors, each running at 2.3 GHz with a 3.2 GHz turbo and twelve cores. The system includes 128 GB of DDR4-2400 ECC registered memory across eight 16 GB modules. Eight 960 GB SATA solid-state drives connect through a PERC HBA330 controller.
Virtualisation and storage workloads
This server suits teams running virtualisation, cloud infrastructure, or storage-heavy applications that benefit from high drive-count density in a single rack unit. The dual-socket design and large memory capacity support multiple concurrent virtual machines. Buyers who need GPU acceleration, additional PCIe expansion slots, or fibre-channel connectivity should look at other platforms. The 1U form factor also limits internal drive bays to the eight 2.5-inch slots provided.
Eight 960 GB SATA drives on HBA330
The storage subsystem centres on eight 960 GB SATA 6 Gb/s SSDs managed by the Dell PERC HBA330 12 Gb/s SAS/SATA controller. This configuration delivers high-capacity flash storage without a hardware RAID processor, making it suitable for software-defined storage or JBOD deployments. The HBA330 presents drives directly to the operating system for flexible volume management.
