Dell PowerEdge R650xs 1U Rack Server 2x Xeon 4316 2.3GHz 20C 64GB DDR4 8x 1.8TB SAS H745 5720 iDRAC9 2x 1400W

Dell PowerEdge R650xs 1U Server

This Dell PowerEdge R650xs is a 1U rack server built for data-center density. It ships with two Intel Xeon Silver 4316 processors running at 2.3 GHz with a 3.4 GHz turbo frequency. The system includes 64 GB of DDR4 memory and eight 1.8 TB SAS hard drives managed by a PERC H745 controller. Dual 1400 W power supplies and iDRAC9 Enterprise provide redundant power and remote management out of the box.

Suited for virtualisation and dense compute.

The configuration fits virtualisation clusters, cloud infrastructure and high-performance computing where CPU cores and fast SAS storage matter. The quad-port 1 GbE OCP 3.0 adapter handles standard network traffic. Buyers who need GPU acceleration for AI or machine-learning tasks should look elsewhere because this unit has no GPU installed and the 1U chassis limits expansion. Workloads requiring 10 GbE or faster networking also need a different adapter.

PERC H745 RAID controller with 4 GB NV cache

The Dell PERC H745 front RAID controller includes 4 GB of non-volatile cache backed by a battery. It supports RAID levels 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 across the eight 2.5-inch drive bays. This controller choice determines the storage redundancy and performance profile available without adding a separate card.
