DELL PowerEdge R650xs 1U Rack Server 2x Xeon Gold 6338 2.0GHz 32 Core 128GB DDR4 8x 960GB SSD H745

Compact 1U density for virtualised workloads

The Dell PowerEdge R650xs fits two Intel Xeon Gold 6338 processors and 128GB of DDR4 3200MHz registered ECC memory into a single rack unit. Eight 960GB SATA SSDs provide fast read performance for mixed workloads. This configuration targets teams running dense virtualisation, cloud infrastructure or high-performance computing where floor space is limited.

PERC H745 with NV cache and 10GbE SFP+

The front-mounted PERC H745 RAID controller adds 4GB of non-volatile cache backed by a battery, enabling RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 without data loss on power failure. A Broadcom 57412 dual-port 10GbE SFP+ OCP 3.0 card ships installed, giving immediate high-speed connectivity. iDRAC9 Enterprise provides full out-of-band management and lifecycle automation from day one.

SATA SSD throughput ceiling

Eight SATA 6Gb/s drives saturate the bus well before the controller reaches its peak IOPS, so write-heavy workloads will hit a throughput ceiling. The server supports a maximum of two processors; this unit already has both sockets populated, so no further CPU expansion is possible. Memory can grow to 1TB across 16 DIMM slots, but only DDR4 modules are compatible.
