1U 10-Bay Rack Server

The Dell PowerEdge R650xs is a 1U rack server configured with ten 2.5-inch drive bays. It runs two Intel Xeon Silver 4310 processors at 2.1 GHz with twelve cores each. The system includes 128 GB of DDR4 memory and a PERC H745 RAID controller with 4 GB NV cache. Dual 1400 W platinum power supplies provide redundancy.

Virtualisation and Dense Compute

This server suits organisations that need high core counts and local storage in a single rack unit. The ten 1.8 TB SAS drives deliver capacity for databases or virtual machines. Buyers who require GPU acceleration for AI workloads should look elsewhere because the specification lists no GPU. Environments needing 10 GbE or faster networking out of the box will need additional adapters.

PERC H745 RAID Controller

The installed Dell PERC H745 controller supports RAID levels 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60. It manages the ten 1.8 TB 10K SAS drives with 4 GB of non-volatile cache backed by a battery. This controller choice determines the available redundancy and performance profiles for the local storage array.
