DELL PowerEdge R650 1U rack server 2x Xeon Silver 4310 1TB DDR4 H755 10x 2.5" 5720 iDRAC9 2x 1400W

Compact 1U rack server for dense compute

The Dell PowerEdge R650 is a 1U rack server built for enterprise workloads that demand high density. It ships with two Intel Xeon Silver 4310 processors, each providing 12 cores at 2.1 GHz with a 3.3 GHz turbo frequency. A total of 1 TB of DDR4 2666 MHz registered ECC memory is installed across 32 DIMM slots, supporting up to 2 TB maximum capacity.

Upgrade from older 1U platforms

This configuration replaces earlier 1U servers that cannot accommodate dual 12-core Xeon Scalable processors or 1 TB of DDR4 memory in a single rack unit. The jump is worth it when workloads require more parallel threads, larger in-memory datasets, or the RAID flexibility of the PERC H755 controller with 8 GB NV cache supporting RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60.

Suits virtualization clusters

Organisations running virtualisation clusters, dense private clouds or memory-intensive databases benefit from the core count, memory capacity and quad-port 1 GbE OCP 3.0 networking in a 1U form factor. Buyers who need more storage bays, GPU acceleration, or higher single-thread frequencies should look at alternative chassis or processor configurations.
