Dell PowerEdge SC440 Review:

The impact of Intel’s Dual Core Xenon processors is clearly evident in the Dell PowerEdge SC440 line of servers. Even as an entry level server, the PowerEdge SC440 is powered by a 2.4GHz dual-core Xeon 3060 processor, comes with some excellent storage capabilities and an appealing price tag.

The Dell PowerEdge SC440 is blanketed by a solid steel shell, which is the same as their higher end servers. The front of the SC440 is able to accommodate a pair of 5.25in devices, and included is an IDE DVD-ROM drive.

All the wires and are neatly tucked away and it’s clear that Dell has put in extra efforts to reduce noise pollution. The processor of the PowerEdge SC440 line is located at the center of the unit and is shielded by a large heatsink, which is paired with a robust 12cm diameter cooling fan.

Based on Intel’s core technology, the 3000 Series processors feature reduced heat output and power requirement, which allows the fans to run slower resulting in a system that hardly whispers. The motherboard of the PowerEdge SC440 can support both Celeron D and Pentium D processors, up to 8 GB of DDR2 memory and four DIMM sockets.

Additionally the motherboard also showcases four SATA interfaces, giving you the opportunity to mix and match SATA and SASA disk drives. The Dell PowerEdge SC440 is a perfect server for small businesses or anyone looking for affordable performance and easy deployment.
