Compact 1U rack server

The Dell PowerEdge R650xs is a new 1U rack server built for density-focused deployments. It ships with two Intel Xeon Gold 5317 3.0 GHz twelve-core processors and 128 GB of DDR4 2933 MHz registered ECC memory. A PERC H745 RAID controller with 4 GB NV cache and battery backs ten 2.5-inch SAS/SATA drive trays. Dual 1400 W platinum power supplies, a quad-port 1 GbE OCP 3.0 card and iDRAC9 Enterprise complete the configuration.

Suited for virtualisation.

This server fits teams that need high core counts and redundant power in a single rack unit. The ten front bays and H745 controller cover a range of RAID profiles from 0 through 60. Buyers who need GPU acceleration for AI training, more than ten drive bays, or networking faster than 1 GbE should evaluate alternative platforms. The fixed 128 GB memory and dual-socket limit also rule out larger in-memory datasets.

Dual Xeon Gold 5317 at 3.0 GHz

The pair of twelve-core Xeon Gold 5317 CPUs running at 3.0 GHz base and 3.6 GHz turbo delivers the compute throughput that defines this system. All other specifications scale around that processor choice, so confirming the core count and clock speed against the workload is the decisive step.

Questions about this item

Will the 128GB DDR4 2933MHz memory need replacing or can I add more later?

The server holds 128GB across 8x 16GB DDR4 2933MHz modules and supports up to 1TB total across 16 DIMM slots, so you can add more DDR4 later without removing what is installed.

What limits sustained throughput on the H745 RAID controller with ten 2.5" drives?

The PERC H745 with 4GB NV cache and battery backs RAID 0/1/5/6/10/50/60; sustained write speed will hit the cache flush limit or the SAS/SATA drive ceiling before the controller itself bottlenecks.

How loud and hot do the dual 1400W Platinum PSUs run under all-day load?

Two 1400W Platinum supplies share the load redundantly; each runs at lower utilisation, keeping fan speed and exhaust heat lower than a single larger unit would at the same total draw.
