Dense 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 6130 processors running at 2.1GHz with 3.7GHz turbo across 16 cores each. The system includes 16GB of DDR4-2666 ECC registered memory and eight 960GB SATA solid-state drives managed by a PERC HBA330 controller. This configuration targets virtualization, cloud and storage workloads that demand high compute density in minimal rack space.
SATA Throughput and Expansion Limits
Storage connectivity runs through a 12Gb/s SAS/SATA HBA330 controller serving eight 2.5-inch drive bays populated with 6Gb/s SATA SSDs. The SATA 6Gb/s interface caps sequential throughput at the drive level, while the controller’s 12Gb/s lanes provide headroom for mixed workloads. PCIe expansion slots are available for additional networking or storage adapters, though the 1U chassis restricts card length and height. Dual integrated 1GbE ports handle baseline connectivity without consuming expansion slots.
Redundant Power and Remote Management
Dual 550W platinum-efficiency power supplies deliver full hardware redundancy for continuous operation. The iDRAC9 Express module provides dedicated out-of-band remote management for monitoring, firmware updates and virtual console access independent of the host OS. Front bezel and ready rails are not included, so mounting hardware must be sourced separately for rack installation. The 1U form factor demands careful airflow planning in densely populated cabinets.

Questions about this item
Should I pick the 960GB SATA drives or a larger capacity for the R440?
This unit ships with eight 960GB SATA SSDs filling every 2.5" bay, so capacity is fixed unless you replace the drives.
What does the 2.1GHz Xeon Gold 6130 speed mean under load?
The 16-core processors run at a 2.1GHz base clock and can boost to 3.7GHz Turbo when thermal headroom allows.
Will the HBA330 controller limit the 6Gb/s SATA SSDs?
The PERC HBA330 provides 12Gb/s SAS/SATA lanes, so the 6Gb/s drives operate at their full native speed.
