DELL PowerEdge R650xs 1U rack server 2x Xeon Gold 6330 2.0GHz 28C 256GB DDR4 10x 960GB SATA SSD H745

Compact 1U rack server for dense compute

The Dell PowerEdge R650xs is a 1U rack server equipped with two Intel Xeon Gold 6330 processors, each running at 2.0 GHz with 28 cores. It includes 256 GB of DDR4 2933 MHz registered ECC memory across eight 32 GB modules. Ten 960 GB SATA solid-state drives connect through a PERC H745 RAID controller with 4 GB NV cache, while dual 10 GbE SFP+ networking and iDRAC9 Enterprise remote management come standard. Redundant 1400 W platinum power supplies support continuous operation.

Suited for virtualisation and database workloads

This configuration targets environments that need high core counts and fast local storage in a single rack unit, such as virtualisation clusters, database nodes or analytics platforms. The dual-processor layout and large memory capacity handle heavy concurrent threads, and the ten-drive array offers substantial capacity with hardware RAID flexibility. Buyers who require NVMe throughput, GPU acceleration or more than two sockets should evaluate alternative platforms.

Ten 2.5-inch drive bays define storage scale

The chassis provides exactly ten 2.5-inch hot-swap bays, all populated with 960 GB SATA SSDs in this build. This bay count fixes the maximum number of drives without expanding to another enclosure, so capacity planning starts from this limit. The PERC H745 controller supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 across these drives.
