DELL PowerEdge R650xs 1U 2x Xeon Gold 6330 28C 128GB DDR4 8x 1.92TB SATA H745 2x 1400W

Dell PowerEdge R650xs 1U dual Xeon server

The Dell PowerEdge R650xs is a 1U rack server built for density. It ships with two Intel Xeon Gold 6330 processors at 2.0 GHz, each with 28 cores. Memory is 128 GB of DDR4 2933 MHz registered ECC. Eight 1.92 TB SATA SSDs sit behind a PERC H745 RAID controller. Two 1400 W hot-swap power supplies provide redundancy. iDRAC9 Enterprise handles remote management. Broadcom 57412 dual 10 GbE SFP+ networking is included.

Ideal for virtualization and dense compute

This configuration suits teams running virtualization clusters, container platforms or dense analytics workloads that need high core counts in a single rack unit. The 1.92 TB SATA SSD array delivers fast read throughput for mixed workloads. Buyers who need NVMe performance, larger raw capacity or GPU acceleration should evaluate other platforms. The 128 GB DDR4 limit may restrict very large in-memory databases.

PERC H745 RAID controller with 4 GB cache

The Dell PERC H745 front RAID controller supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60. Its 4 GB non-volatile cache with battery backup protects write data during power loss. This controller manages all eight 2.5 inch SATA SSDs. It is the single component that defines storage resilience and performance for this build.
