DELL PowerEdge R650 10-Bay 2.5" 1U Rack Server 2x Xeon Gold 5317 3.0GHz 12-Core 64GB DDR4 H755 10x 1.8TB SAS

Dense 1U compute platform

The Dell PowerEdge R650 is a 1U rack server built for enterprise workloads that demand high core counts in minimal space. It ships with two Intel Xeon Gold 5317 processors, each running at 3.0 GHz with a 3.6 GHz turbo frequency. The system includes 64 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory arranged as four 16 GB modules at 2933 MHz. A PERC H755 RAID controller with 8 GB NV cache and battery backs ten 1.8 TB 10K SAS drives.

Virtualisation hosts and database clusters

This configuration suits teams running virtualised infrastructure, dense private clouds or transactional databases that benefit from fast local storage and hardware RAID. Buyers who need GPU acceleration, larger memory footprints beyond the installed 64 GB, or all-flash NVMe arrays should evaluate alternative configurations. The single OCP 3.0 network card provides four 1 GbE ports, which may limit throughput for storage-heavy east-west traffic.

Ten 1.8 TB SAS drives on H755

The storage subsystem centres on ten 2.5-inch 10K SAS disks delivering 18 TB raw capacity behind a Dell PERC H755 controller supporting RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60. This drive count and controller combination determines whether the server meets your performance and redundancy requirements.
