Every chassis opens a Build-Your-Own configurator — choose CPUs, memory, drives, and networking, and we assemble and test the complete server before it ships. Don’t see the layout you need? Request a quote.
What the Dell R440 Is Best At
The R440 is built for cost-conscious infrastructure: small virtualization hosts, web and application servers, network services, backup targets, and lab/test environments that still need dual-socket ECC-backed reliability and iDRAC9 remote management.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the Dell R440 good for a small business?
Yes — it is one of the most affordable ways to get a proper dual-socket enterprise server with remote management and a warranty. It comfortably runs a domain controller, file services, and several VMs on a single box.
What is the difference between the R440 and R640?
The R640 has 24 DIMM slots (vs 16), supports up to 3 TB RAM (vs 1 TB), takes higher-TDP 28-core CPUs, and offers NVMe backplanes. The R440 trades that headroom for a lower price — ideal when workloads are modest and budget is fixed.
What warranty comes with a refurbished Dell R440?
Every configured Dell R440 ships with a free 1-year PCSP warranty covering replacement parts, labor, and shipping on covered failures. Coverage can be extended to up to 5 years at checkout, and on-site service tiers (8×5 next-business-day and 24×7×4) are available for production environments.
What if I don't see the Dell R440 configuration I need?
Every chassis links to a configurator where you select processors, RAM, storage, and networking, and each build is assembled and tested in our Michigan facility. Need something the configurator doesn’t show — specific drives, GPUs, an OS pre-install, or a bulk order? Submit a quote request and we’ll put the exact spec together.
