DELL PowerEdge R650xs rack server 10x 2.5" 2x Xeon Gold 5317 3.0GHz 12-core 512GB DDR4 H745 57412 2x 1400W

1U dual Xeon server for dense compute

The Dell PowerEdge R650xs is a 1U rack server fitted with two Intel Xeon Gold 5317 processors running at 3.0GHz with 12 cores each. It ships with 512GB of DDR4 2933MHz registered ECC memory across 16 DIMM slots. A PERC H745 controller with 4GB NV cache manages the 10 front-accessible 2.5-inch SAS and SATA drive bays. Dual 1400W platinum power supplies and iDRAC9 Enterprise remote management are included.

Suited for virtualization and HPC clusters.

This configuration targets hypervisor hosts, high-performance compute nodes and dense cloud infrastructure where CPU throughput and memory capacity matter. The 1U chassis limits internal expansion, so workloads requiring multiple double-width GPUs or large numbers of NVMe drives should evaluate larger platforms. Buyers needing more than two sockets or higher single-thread frequency will need a different class of server.

10-bay 2.5-inch front storage with PERC H745 RAID

The single specification that determines fit is the ten 2.5-inch SAS/SATA drive bays paired with the H745 RAID controller supporting RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60. This layout fixes the maximum drive count and the RAID levels available without adding external enclosures. Confirm the bay count and controller match your storage design before purchasing.
