DELL PowerEdge R650 1U rack server 2x Xeon Gold 6330 28-core 256GB DDR4 10x 600GB SAS H755 2x 1400W

Dense 1U compute for virtualization and databases

The Dell PowerEdge R650 packs two Xeon Gold 6330 processors, each with 28 cores running at 2.0 GHz and boosting to 3.1 GHz, into a single rack unit. It ships with 256 GB of DDR4 2933 MHz registered ECC memory across eight DIMM slots. Ten 2.5-inch 600 GB 10K SAS drives connect through a PERC H755 controller with 8 GB NV cache, while a Broadcom 57412 dual-port 10 GbE SFP+ OCP 3.0 card handles network traffic. iDRAC 9 Enterprise provides full remote management.

Dual 1400 W platinum supplies share the load

Redundant hot-swap power supplies operate at platinum efficiency, converting AC with minimal waste heat under typical enterprise loads. The 1U chassis uses high-speed internal fans that ramp based on inlet temperature and CPU utilisation; acoustic output rises during sustained all-core turbo but remains within data-centre norms. Power draw scales with the 28-core CPUs, memory population and ten spinning SAS drives, so the redundant pair provides headroom for full configuration without oversubscription.

Ten 600 GB SAS drives set the capacity ceiling

The array delivers 6 TB raw across ten 10K spindles, suited for latency-sensitive databases or boot volumes rather than bulk archival storage. Builders who need more capacity or NVMe speed must look beyond this configuration.
