Dense compute in 1U
The Dell PowerEdge R440 is a 1U rack server built for space-constrained data centres. It ships with dual Xeon Gold 6130 processors running at 2.1GHz with 3.7GHz turbo across 16 cores each. The system includes 128GB of DDR4-2666 ECC registered memory and a PERC H730P controller with 2GB cache. Eight 1.8TB 10K SAS drives and redundant 550W platinum power supplies complete the configuration.
Virtualisation and database workloads
This server suits teams running virtualised environments, application hosting or database workloads that benefit from high core counts and fast SAS storage. The integrated dual-port gigabit adapter and iDRAC 9 Express handle remote management. Buyers who need more than eight drive bays, front bezel or ready rails included, or a different controller feature set should evaluate other platforms.
Eight-bay 2.5 SAS backplane
The single specification that decides fit is the eight-bay 2.5-inch SAS/SATA backplane paired with the H730P RAID controller supporting RAID 0/1/5/6/10/50/60. This determines how many drives you can install and which RAID levels are available. If your deployment requires a different bay count or controller capability, this unit will not match.

Questions about this item
How is the PERC H730P controller installed and which step is often missed?
The H730P plugs into a dedicated internal slot; the step often missed is connecting its battery pack to the controller so that write-back caching stays protected during power loss.
What maintenance will the eight 1.8 TB SAS drives need later?
The 10 K drives are the primary wear items — plan to replace any that develop SMART errors or exceed their rated workload limit, and keep a spare 1.8 TB SAS drive on hand for rapid rebuilds.
What limit appears first when both Xeon 6130 CPUs run at 3.7 GHz turbo under sustained load?
The dual 550 W power supplies set the first sustained-use ceiling; prolonged all-core turbo can push total draw to the supply rating, causing the system to throttle clock speeds to stay within the power envelope.
