Compact 1U rack server
The Dell EMC PowerEdge R440 is a 1U rackmount server built for dense data-centre deployments. It ships with two Intel Xeon Gold 5118 processors running at 2.3 GHz with 12 cores each and 32 GB of DDR4-2400 ECC registered memory. A PERC H730P controller with 2 GB cache handles RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 across eight 2.5-inch drive bays.
Virtualisation and cloud workloads
This configuration suits teams running virtualisation, application hosting or database workloads that need dual-socket compute in a single rack unit. Buyers who need more than eight drive bays, larger memory capacity from the start or a different storage controller should evaluate other platforms.
Dual Xeon Gold 5118 12-core CPUs
The pair of 12-core Xeon Gold 5118 processors at 2.3 GHz with 3.2 GHz turbo provides the core count and clock speed that define this server's throughput ceiling. Match that figure to your licensing and threading requirements before purchasing.

Questions about this item
How are the 2.5" drive fillers removed before installing drives in the 8-bay front?
Pull each filler straight out from the front chassis; the common mistake is forcing them sideways which can bend the bay alignment pins.
When will the PERC H730P controller's 2GB cache battery need replacement?
The battery typically lasts 3 to 5 years; the iDRAC9 Express dashboard will flag a "Battery Learn Cycle Failed" alert when it can no longer hold charge.
At what point do the dual 550W platinum PSUs hit their thermal limit under full CPU load?
With both Xeon Gold 5118 processors at 3.2GHz turbo, the power draw approaches the 550W per supply rating, causing fan speed to ramp to maximum sustained RPM.
