DELL PowerEdge R650 rack server 2x Xeon Silver 4310 2.1GHz 12 Core 1TB DDR4 H755 10x 1.8TB SAS

1U dual-Xeon server with 1TB DDR4

The Dell PowerEdge R650 is a 1U rack server built for dense compute workloads. It ships with two Intel Xeon Silver 4310 processors running at 2.1 GHz with 12 cores each. A full complement of 1TB DDR4-2666 ECC memory is installed across 32 modules. The PERC H755 controller manages storage with 8 GB NV cache and battery backup.

Suited for virtualisation and database clusters.

This configuration targets enterprises running virtualisation, private cloud or database tiers that need high core counts and large memory in a single rack unit. The 10-bay 2.5-inch chassis is populated with 1.8 TB 10K SAS drives for capacity and speed. Buyers who need GPU acceleration or NVMe-only storage should evaluate other platforms because this unit has no GPU support and the drives are SAS HDDs.

PERC H755 RAID controller with 8 GB cache

The storage controller is a Dell PERC H755 PCIe card supporting RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 with 8 GB non-volatile cache and battery. It connects the ten 1.8 TB SAS drives at 12 Gb/s. This controller choice determines the RAID levels available and the write-performance ceiling for the array.
