DELL PowerEdge R650xs 1U rack server 2× Xeon Gold 6338 2.0GHz 32-core 128GB DDR4 10× 600GB SAS H745 2× 1400W

PowerEdge R650xs 1U rack server

The Dell PowerEdge R650xs is a 1U rack server built for dense compute environments. It arrives new with dual Intel Xeon Gold 6338 processors, each running at 2.0 GHz with 32 cores. The system includes 128GB of DDR4 3200MHz registered ECC memory across eight 16GB modules. A PERC H745 RAID controller with 4GB NV cache manages ten 600GB 10K SAS drives in the front 2.5-inch bays.

Suited for virtualization and database workloads

This configuration suits teams that need high core counts and fast local storage in a single rack unit. The dual 1400W platinum power supplies and iDRAC9 Enterprise support continuous operation and remote management. Buyers who require GPU acceleration or more than ten drive bays should evaluate other platforms. The fixed 128GB memory capacity may also limit memory-heavy applications without additional DIMMs.

PERC H745 RAID controller with 4GB NV cache

The storage subsystem centres on the Dell PERC H745 front RAID controller equipped with 4GB of non-volatile cache and a battery backup. It supports RAID levels 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 across the ten installed 600GB SAS drives. This controller determines the data protection and performance profile for the primary storage array.
