Dell PowerEdge R650xs 1U Server

The Dell PowerEdge R650xs is a new 1U rack server system built for dense data-centre deployments. It ships with two Intel Xeon Gold 5317 processors, each running at 3.0 GHz with 12 cores. The system includes 64 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory and a PERC H745 RAID controller.

Virtualisation and dense compute workloads

This server suits teams running virtualisation, cloud infrastructure or high-performance computing in limited rack space. The dual-processor design and 10-bay SAS storage support demanding multi-threaded applications. Buyers who need GPU acceleration for AI training or who require NVMe storage speeds should look at alternative platforms.

10-bay 2.5-inch SAS storage capacity

The chassis provides ten 2.5-inch drive bays populated with 600 GB 10K SAS hard drives connected to the H745 controller. This configuration delivers high IOPS for transactional databases and virtualised storage. Organisations needing larger capacity per bay or all-flash NVMe arrays will need a different chassis design.

Questions about this item

How do I decide between the available drive bays and memory capacity for this R650xs?

The server ships with ten 2.5-inch bays fully populated by 600 GB SAS drives and 64 GB of DDR4 across four 16 GB modules, leaving twelve DIMM slots free to reach the 1 TB maximum.

What does the 3.0 GHz base clock mean for actual workloads on the dual Xeon Gold 5317 CPUs?

Each processor runs at 3.0 GHz base and can turbo to 3.6 GHz across its twelve cores, giving twenty-four cores total for parallel tasks such as virtualization or dense analytics.

Which interface limits the storage throughput on the PERC H745 controller?

The drives connect via 12 Gb/s SAS, so the controller’s RAID 0/1/5/6/10/50/60 performance is capped by that SAS link speed.
