DELL PowerEdge R650xs 1U rack server 2x Xeon Silver 4316 2.3GHz 20C 512GB DDR4 H745 10x 1.8TB SAS 57412

Purpose-built 1U density

The Dell PowerEdge R650xs is a 1U rack server configured with dual 20-core Intel Xeon Silver 4316 processors and 512GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory. It targets virtualisation hosts, cloud nodes and dense analytics clusters that need maximum compute per rack unit. The server ships new with iDRAC9 Enterprise, dual 1400W platinum power supplies, rails and bezel included.

H745 RAID with 10 x 1.8TB SAS

The defining spec is the PERC H745 controller driving ten 1.8TB 10K SAS drives at 12Gb/s with 4GB NV cache and battery backup. This hardware RAID engine supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60, delivering the throughput and redundancy a primary storage tier requires. No other drive count or interface is present in this build.

Dual 10GbE SFP+ OCP 3.0 uplink

A Broadcom 57412 dual-port 10GbE SFP+ OCP 3.0 card provides the high-speed fabric connection, freeing the remaining PCIe slots for additional accelerators or storage controllers. The 1U chassis uses redundant hot-swap power and front-access 2.5-inch bays, so service does not require rack removal. Buyers needing GPU acceleration or NVMe-only storage should look elsewhere.
