DELL PowerEdge R650 1U rack server 2× Xeon Silver 4310 2.1GHz 12-core 64GB DDR4 10× 1.8TB SAS H755

Configuration overview

The Dell PowerEdge R650 is a 1U rack server equipped with two Intel Xeon Silver 4310 processors running at 2.1GHz, each providing 12 cores. It ships with 64GB of DDR4 memory configured as four 16GB modules at 2666MHz. The system includes a PERC H755 RAID controller with 8GB NV cache and battery backup. Ten 1.8TB 10K SAS drives are installed in the 2.5-inch drive bays.

Target workloads

This server suits organisations that need dense compute and local storage in a single rack unit, such as virtualisation hosts, database nodes or private-cloud clusters. The dual 1400W platinum power supplies and iDRAC9 Enterprise simplify deployment and ongoing management. Buyers who need more memory capacity than the installed 64GB or who require NVMe performance instead of SAS should evaluate other configurations.

Storage controller and drive interface

The PERC H755 controller manages the ten 1.8TB SAS drives and supports RAID levels 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60. This combination determines the usable capacity, redundancy and throughput available to the operating system. Confirm that the SAS interface and RAID feature set match the application requirements before purchase.
