DELL PowerEdge R650xs 1U rack server 2x Xeon Silver 4314 2.4GHz 16-core 64GB DDR4 10x 1.8TB SAS H745

Dense 1U rack server with dual Xeon Silver 4314

The Dell PowerEdge R650xs is a 1U rack server equipped with two Intel Xeon Silver 4314 processors running at 2.4 GHz with 16 cores each. It ships with 64 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory and ten 1.8 TB SAS hard drives connected to a PERC H745 RAID controller. Dual 1400 W power supplies and iDRAC9 Enterprise provide redundancy and remote management in a single rack unit.

Suited for virtualisation and dense compute.

This configuration targets virtualisation hosts, cloud infrastructure nodes and high-performance computing clusters that need maximum CPU density in 1U. Buyers who require GPU acceleration for AI or machine learning tasks should consider platforms with PCIe expansion capability because this chassis does not support add-in cards. Organisations needing larger memory footprints per socket can scale up to the platform maximum of 1 TB using the 16 available DIMM slots.

PERC H745 RAID controller with 4 GB NV cache

The storage subsystem centres on a Dell PERC H745 front RAID controller featuring 4 GB of non-volatile cache backed by a battery. It supports RAID levels 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 across the ten 2.5-inch 10K SAS drives delivering 12 Gb/s throughput. This controller choice determines the data protection schemes and rebuild performance available to the array.
