DELL PowerEdge R650xs 1U 10 Bay 2x Xeon Silver 4310 12 Core 2.1GHz 128GB DDR4 H745 5720 iDRAC9 2x 1400W

Compact 1U rack server with ten drive bays

The Dell PowerEdge R650xs is a 1U rack server that fits ten 2.5-inch drive bays into a single rack unit. It ships with two Intel Xeon Silver 4310 processors running at 2.1GHz base and 3.3GHz turbo, each providing twelve cores. The system includes 128GB of DDR4 2666MHz registered ECC memory installed across eight DIMM slots. A PERC H745 controller with 4GB non-volatile cache and battery backs RAID levels 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60. Dual 1400W platinum power supplies and iDRAC9 Enterprise remote management complete the package.

Suited for dense virtualisation

This configuration targets environments that need high core density and fast local storage in minimal rack space. The ten-bay front panel supports mixed SAS and SATA drives so you can tune capacity or speed per workload. Buyers who require GPU acceleration, larger 3.5-inch drive bays or more than two processor sockets should evaluate alternative platforms. The fixed 1U height also limits PCIe expansion compared with 2U or larger chassis.

PERC H745 RAID controller with 4GB NV cache

The Dell PERC H745 front-mounted RAID controller is the component that determines storage performance and data protection options. It provides hardware RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 with a 4GB non-volatile cache backed by a battery. If your deployment needs a different RAID feature set, a JBOD-only HBA or NVMe-specific controller, this server's storage subsystem will not match those requirements.
