DELL PowerEdge R650xs 1U rack server 2x Xeon Gold 5317 3.0GHz 12-core 64GB DDR4 8x 1.8TB SAS H745 2x 1400W

PowerEdge R650xs 1U dual-socket server

The Dell PowerEdge R650xs is a 1U rack server fitted with two Intel Xeon Gold 5317 processors. Each CPU runs at 3.0 GHz with a 3.6 GHz turbo frequency and provides 12 cores. The system includes 64 GB of DDR4 2933 MHz registered ECC memory across four modules. Eight 1.8 TB 10K SAS drives connect through a PERC H745 RAID controller with 4 GB NV cache. A Broadcom 57412 dual-port 10 GbE SFP+ OCP 3.0 card handles networking.

Virtualisation hosts and dense compute clusters

This configuration suits organisations running virtualised workloads, container platforms or high-performance analytics in limited rack space. The dual 1400 W platinum power supplies and hot-swap drive bays support continuous operation. Buyers who need GPU acceleration for AI training should look elsewhere because this unit has no GPU installed. Teams requiring larger memory footprints per socket will need additional DIMMs beyond the 64 GB supplied.

PERC H745 RAID controller with 4 GB NV cache

The storage controller determines which RAID levels are available and how write performance behaves under load. This H745 supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 with battery-backed cache protection. If your deployment requires a different controller feature set or external enclosure support, the installed card cannot be changed without a hardware swap.
