DELL PowerEdge R650xs 1U 10-Bay 2x Xeon Gold 6338 2.0GHz 256GB DDR4 H745 10x 1.8TB SAS 5720 iDRAC9 2x 1400W

Ready for virtualization and dense compute

This 1U rack server ships with two Intel Xeon Gold 6338 processors running at 2.0 GHz with a 3.2 GHz turbo frequency. It includes 256 GB of DDR4 3200 MHz registered ECC memory across eight 32 GB modules. The PERC H745 RAID controller with 4 GB NV cache and battery supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60. Ten 1.8 TB 10K SAS 12 Gb/s drives provide high-speed storage in a 2.5 inch form factor.

Suits workloads needing fast SAS storage

Buyers who need NVMe acceleration or GPU compute should look elsewhere as this configuration uses SAS drives and has no GPU installed. Organisations requiring more than 1 TB of memory or more than two processors will need a different platform. The quad-port 1 GbE OCP 3.0 card limits network throughput to gigabit speeds per port.

10-bay 2.5 inch SAS chassis decides storage density

The 1U enclosure holds exactly ten 2.5 inch SAS drives, fixing the maximum raw capacity at 18 TB with the supplied 1.8 TB drives. This bay count and drive interface determine whether the server fits your storage layout before you consider CPU or memory upgrades.
