Compact 1U rack server for dense deployments
The Dell PowerEdge R440 is a 1U rackmount server built for data-centre environments where rack space is at a premium. It targets organisations running virtualisation, cloud services, or storage workloads that need reliable compute density without expanding cabinet footprint. The platform suits IT teams managing business applications that benefit from balanced processor and memory resources in a single rack unit.
Dual 12-core Xeon Gold 5118 with 128 GB DDR4
Two Intel Xeon Gold 5118 processors run at 2.3 GHz base and reach 3.2 GHz turbo across 12 cores each, providing 24 threads for parallel workloads. The 128 GB of DDR4-2400 ECC registered memory is populated as eight 16 GB modules, giving headroom for multiple virtual machines or database instances. The PERC H330 controller manages up to four 3.5-inch SAS or SATA drives, though the bays currently hold fillers rather than installed media. Memory capacity and drive count define the practical ceiling for consolidation ratios.
Upgrade path from single-socket
This configuration replaces single-socket servers or older dual-socket systems that lack the core count and memory bandwidth to sustain heavier virtualisation clusters. The jump is worth it when workloads exceed the thread and ECC memory limits of entry-level hardware and demand the 1U density for rack efficiency. Buyers who need more than four drive bays, GPU acceleration, or front bezel and rail kits included should evaluate larger chassis options.

Questions about this item
Will the 12-core Xeon Gold 5118 CPUs work with my existing DDR4-2400 ECC RDIMMs?
Yes, the system runs 128GB of DDR4-2400 ECC registered memory, so matching modules will operate at the rated speed.
How do I verify the PERC H330 controller sees all four 3.5-inch bays after installation?
Open the iDRAC 9 Express storage view or boot into the H330 BIOS utility; both list each connected SAS or SATA drive by bay number.
Does the shipment include drive trays or rails for the four 3.5-inch bays?
The box contains four 3.5-inch drive-bay fillers, dual 550 W power supplies, front bezel, and iDRAC 9 Express; trays and rails must be sourced separately.
