DELL PowerEdge R650 1U rack server 2x Xeon Silver 4310 2.1GHz 12-core 768GB DDR4 10x 1.8TB SAS H755 5720

Built for dense virtualization

The Dell PowerEdge R650 is a 1U rack server equipped with two Intel Xeon Silver 4310 processors, each running at 2.1 GHz with 12 cores. It ships with 768 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory across 24 modules and includes a PERC H755 RAID controller with 8 GB NV cache. Ten 1.8 TB SAS hard drives and a quad-port 1 GbE network card are installed, while iDRAC9 Enterprise handles remote management.

Capacity headroom for growing datasets

The system provides 18 TB of raw SAS storage across ten 2.5-inch drives, with the H755 controller supporting RAID levels 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60. Memory can expand from the installed 768 GB up to a maximum of 2 TB using DDR4 modules at speeds up to 3200 MT/s. Dual 1400 W platinum power supplies deliver redundant hot-swap power for continuous operation.

Upgrades from single-socket

This configuration replaces single-processor servers or systems limited to lower memory capacities when workloads demand more cores and larger datasets in a 1U footprint. The jump is justified when applications require 24 total cores, high memory bandwidth, and hardware RAID with battery-backed cache. Buyers needing NVMe-only storage or GPU-accelerated compute should evaluate alternative chassis designs.
