Dense 1U compute node

The Dell PowerEdge R650xs is a 1U rack server built for density. Two Intel Xeon Gold 6338 processors provide 32 cores running at 2.0GHz with 3.2GHz turbo. 256GB of DDR4 3200MHz registered ECC memory fills eight slots. Eight 960GB SATA SSDs sit behind a PERC H745 controller with 4GB NV cache and battery backup.

Virtualisation and HPC clusters

This configuration suits teams running virtualised workloads, container platforms or dense analytics that need many cores and fast local storage in a single rack unit. The single 1GbE quad-port OCP card limits throughput for storage-heavy or east-west traffic. Buyers who need 10GbE or 25GbE networking, GPU acceleration or more than 1TB of memory should look at a different chassis or add-in cards.

PERC H745 RAID controller

The front-mounted H745 handles RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 with battery-backed cache. That single component determines whether the eight SATA SSDs can deliver the redundancy and write performance your workload requires.

Questions about this item

How much heat and power do the dual 1400 watt platinum PSUs and 32-core Xeon Gold 6338 CPUs generate under sustained load?

Two 1400 watt platinum supplies provide redundant hot-swap power; the Xeon Gold 6338 runs at 2.0 GHz base with 3.2 GHz turbo across 32 cores per socket.

Which rack, rails and network cabling must I already have to install this 1U server?

Ready Rails and a front bezel are included for a standard 4-post rack; the Broadcom 5720 quad-port 1GbE OCP 3.0 card uses RJ45 copper connections.

Can the PERC H745 controller and SATA SSDs coexist with my older SAS or NVMe drives?

The H745 supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50, 60 with 4 GB NV cache; the chassis accepts 2.5 inch SATA, SAS and NVMe drives.
