DELL PowerEdge R650xs 1U Rack Server 2x Xeon Silver 4310 2.1GHz 12 Core 64GB DDR4

Dense 1U Compute Platform

The Dell PowerEdge R650xs is a 1U rack server built for data-centre workloads that demand high core counts in minimal space. It ships with two Intel Xeon Silver 4310 processors, each running at 2.1 GHz with 12 cores and a 3.3 GHz turbo frequency. The system includes 64 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory across four 16 GB modules operating at 2666 MHz. Redundant 1400 W platinum power supplies and iDRAC9 Enterprise remote management are standard.

Virtualisation and Cloud Targets

This configuration suits teams deploying virtualisation clusters, cloud infrastructure or dense analytics where twin 12-core CPUs and hardware RAID accelerate throughput. The PERC H745 controller with 4 GB NV cache supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 across ten 2.5-inch SAS or SATA drive bays. Buyers who need GPU acceleration for AI training or larger memory footprints beyond 1 TB should evaluate other platforms. The quad-port 1 GbE OCP 3.0 adapter limits network bandwidth for high-speed storage fabrics.

Ten-Bay Front Storage Limit

The chassis provides exactly ten 2.5-inch hot-swap trays wired to the H745 RAID controller for SAS and SATA media. No additional internal drive bays or NVMe backplane connections are present in this unit. Capacity planning must stay within those ten slots or use external enclosures.
