DELL PowerEdge R650 rack server 2x Xeon Gold 6330 768GB DDR4 10x 1.92TB SATA H755 2x 1400W

Dense 1U compute

The Dell PowerEdge R650 is a 1U rack server equipped with two Intel Xeon Gold 6330 processors running at 2.0 GHz base and 3.1 GHz turbo, each providing 28 cores. It ships with 768 GB of DDR4 2933 MHz registered ECC memory across 24 modules and ten 1.92 TB SATA solid-state drives managed by a PERC H755 controller with 8 GB NV cache. Dual 1400 W platinum power supplies, a Broadcom 5720 quad-port 1 GbE OCP 3.0 card and iDRAC9 Enterprise complete the package for immediate deployment.

Virtualization and database clusters

This configuration suits teams running dense virtualization, database workloads or private-cloud nodes that need high core counts, large memory capacity and redundant storage in a single rack unit. Buyers who require NVMe throughput, GPU acceleration or more than two processor sockets should evaluate other platforms. The 1U form factor also limits internal expansion beyond the ten drive bays and the single OCP networking slot.

PERC H755 RAID controller

The storage subsystem centres on the Dell PERC H755 PCIe RAID controller with 8 GB non-volatile cache and battery backup, supporting RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 across the ten SATA SSDs. This controller choice determines the achievable redundancy levels and rebuild performance for the installed drive set.
