DELL PowerEdge R650xs 1U rack server 2x Xeon 4316 2.3GHz 20-core 512GB DDR4 10x 960GB SSD H745

DELL PowerEdge R650xs 1U rack server

This DELL PowerEdge R650xs is a 1U rack server system built for dense data-center deployments. It ships with two Intel Xeon Silver 4316 processors running at 2.3GHz with 20 cores each and 512GB of DDR4 2666MHz registered ECC memory. The chassis includes ten 960GB SATA SSDs managed by a Dell PERC H745 RAID controller with 4GB NV cache, dual 1400W platinum power supplies, iDRAC9 Enterprise remote management, and a Broadcom 57412 dual-port 10GbE SFP+ OCP 3.0 network card. Rails and a front bezel are included.

Suits virtualisation clusters needing high core

The twin 20-core CPUs and half-terabyte of memory make this server a strong fit for virtualization, cloud infrastructure, and dense analytics workloads that benefit from many threads in a single rack unit. Buyers who need GPU acceleration for AI training, NVMe storage tiers, or more than ten drive bays should look at alternative platforms that provide those capabilities.

Ten 2.5-inch SATA bays with PERC H745 RAID

The defining storage constraint is the ten-bay 2.5-inch SATA backplane paired with the PERC H745 controller supporting RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50, and 60. Any deployment requiring SAS, NVMe, or more than ten drives will need a different chassis or controller configuration.
