PowerEdge R440 1U Rack Server
The Dell PowerEdge R440 is a compact 1U rack server built for dense data-centre deployments. It ships with dual Intel Xeon Gold 5118 processors running at 2.3 GHz with 12 cores each and a 3.2 GHz turbo frequency. The system includes 256 GB of DDR4-2400 ECC registered memory across eight 32 GB modules.
Suits virtualisation hosts needing high core counts
This configuration targets workloads such as virtualisation, database serving and cloud infrastructure where core density and memory capacity matter. The four 3.5-inch drive bays limit internal storage expansion, so buyers who need more storage slots should consider a different chassis. The 1U height also restricts PCIe add-in cards to low-profile form factors.
PERC H730P RAID controller with 2 GB cache
The Dell PERC H730P provides hardware RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 plus pass-through mode, backed by a battery-protected 2 GB cache. It manages the four included 4 TB 7.2 K SAS drives at 12 Gb/s. This controller choice determines the RAID levels and drive-count ceiling for the server.

Questions about this item
How do I verify the Xeon Gold 5118 processors are running at 2.3GHz base and 3.2GHz turbo after installation?
Enter the BIOS or iDRAC 9 Express interface during boot; both display the live clock speeds for each 12-core CPU so you can confirm 2.3GHz base and 3.2GHz turbo operation.
Which items ship with the R440 and which must be purchased separately?
Included: 2x Xeon Gold 5118 CPUs, 256GB DDR4-2400 ECC RDIMMs (8x 32GB), H730P RAID controller with battery, 4x 4TB 7.2K SAS 3.5" drives, dual 1GbE ports, iDRAC 9 Express, 2x 550W platinum PSUs. Not included: front bezel and Ready Rails.
Which RAID level should I choose on the H730P for four 4TB SAS drives?
The H730P supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60; with four 4TB drives RAID 10 gives 8TB usable with full redundancy, while RAID 5 yields 12TB with single-drive fault tolerance.
