DELL PowerEdge R650xs 1U rack server 2x Xeon Gold 6330 28C 256GB DDR4 10x 600GB SAS H745 57412 2x1400W

Space-efficient 1U rack server

The Dell PowerEdge R650xs is a 1U rack server built for dense data-centre deployments. It ships with two Intel Xeon Gold 6330 processors, each delivering 28 cores at 2.0 GHz with 3.1 GHz turbo. The system includes 256 GB of DDR4 2933 MHz registered ECC memory across eight 32 GB modules. Dual 1400 W platinum power supplies provide redundant hot-swap power.

Virtualisation hosts needing SAS capacity

This configuration suits teams running virtualisation, cloud infrastructure or high-performance computing where 10K SAS drives are preferred. The PERC H745 controller supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 with 4 GB NV cache. Buyers who want all-flash NVMe storage or GPU-accelerated AI workloads should look at a different chassis, as this unit ships with mechanical drives and no GPU installed.

Ten-bay 2.5-inch SAS drive array

The defining specification is the front bay count: ten 2.5-inch bays populated with 600 GB 10K SAS drives on a 12 Gb/s interface. This fixes both the maximum drive quantity and the storage protocol for the server. If a project requires more than ten drives, 3.5-inch form factors or a different backplane, this 1U model will not fit.
