DELL PowerEdge R650 rack server 2×Xeon Silver 4314 2.4GHz 16C 128GB DDR4 H755 10×2.5" iDRAC9 Ent 2×1400W

Purpose-built 1U rack server

The Dell PowerEdge R650 is a new 1U rack server fitted with two Intel Xeon Silver 4314 processors, each running at 2.4 GHz with 16 cores. It ships with 128 GB of DDR4 2666 MHz registered ECC memory across eight modules and a PERC H755 RAID controller with 8 GB NV cache. Ten 2.5-inch SAS/SATA drive trays, dual 10 GbE SFP+ ports, iDRAC9 Enterprise and redundant 1400 W platinum power supplies complete the package.

Suits dense virtualisation and database workloads

This configuration targets organisations that need high compute density in a single rack unit for virtualisation, database management or private cloud deployments. The dual 16-core CPUs and 128 GB DDR4 give strong multi-threaded throughput, while the H755 controller supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60. Buyers who require GPU acceleration, larger memory footprints beyond 2 TB or NVMe-only storage should evaluate alternative platforms.

The H755 controller with 8 GB NV cache decides

The installed PERC H755 PCIe RAID controller provides 8 GB of non-volatile cache backed by a battery, enabling write-back caching across RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60. This specification determines the data-protection schemes and performance profile available for the ten 2.5-inch drive bays. Verify that the supported RAID levels match your resilience and throughput requirements before purchase.
