DELL PowerEdge R650 1U 10 Bay 2x Xeon Silver 4310 64GB DDR4 10x 1.8TB SAS H755

1U rack server for dense compute

The Dell PowerEdge R650 fits two Xeon Silver 4310 processors and 64GB of DDR4 memory into a single rack unit. A PERC H755 controller manages ten 1.8TB SAS drives, while a Broadcom 5720 quad-port 1GbE card handles network traffic. iDRAC9 Enterprise provides full out-of-band management. Dual 1400W platinum supplies deliver redundant power. Ready Rails and a front bezel ship in the box.

Scales for virtualization and database clusters

This configuration suits teams running virtualised workloads, private clouds or transactional databases that need fast local storage and remote management in a 1U footprint. Buyers who need more than two sockets, larger memory capacity than 64GB, or NVMe drive bays should evaluate other platforms. The 1U chassis also limits PCIe expansion to low-profile cards only.

Ten 1.8TB SAS drives on H755 RAID

The storage subsystem centres on a Dell PERC H755 controller with 8GB NV cache and battery backup, driving ten 2.5-inch 1.8TB 10K SAS disks. Supported RAID levels include 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60. This array delivers high IOPS for mixed read/write workloads, but the SAS interface caps throughput at 12Gb/s per drive and offers no NVMe tier in this build.
