DELL PowerEdge R650xs 1U Rack Server 2x Xeon Silver 4314 2.4GHz 256GB DDR4 8x 1.92TB SSD H745

Dual Xeon Silver 4314 1U Server

The Dell PowerEdge R650xs is a 1U rack server built for dense compute workloads. It ships with two Intel Xeon Silver 4314 processors, each running at 2.4 GHz with 16 cores. The system includes 256 GB of DDR4 memory in eight 32 GB modules and eight 1.92 TB SATA SSDs. Dual 1400 W hot-swap power supplies and iDRAC9 Enterprise management are standard.

Virtualisation hosts needing ready storage

This configuration suits teams deploying virtualised infrastructure or container clusters that want a balanced CPU-to-memory ratio and immediate all-flash capacity. The PERC H745 controller supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 with 4 GB NV cache. Buyers who need GPU acceleration for AI training or larger NVMe pools should evaluate other platforms.

Eight-bay 2.5-inch front storage

The chassis provides eight hot-swap 2.5-inch drive bays, all populated with 1.92 TB SATA SSDs in this build. Expansion beyond these eight bays requires a different chassis or external enclosure. The PERC H745 manages the array through the front backplane, so drive count is fixed by the 1U form factor.
