DELL PowerEdge R650xs 1U rack server 2x Xeon Gold 6338 2.0GHz 256GB DDR4 8x 600GB SAS H745 iDRAC9 2x 1400W

1U Dual-Socket Server for Dense Compute

The Dell PowerEdge R650xs is a 1U rack server built for virtualization, cloud infrastructure and dense data analytics. It ships with two Intel Xeon Gold 6338 processors, each delivering 32 cores at 2.0 GHz with a 3.2 GHz turbo. The system includes 256 GB of DDR4 3200 MHz registered ECC memory across eight 32 GB modules. Dual 1400 W platinum power supplies provide hot-swap redundancy.

Front 2.5-Inch Bays with H745 RAID

Eight 2.5-inch front drive bays hold 600 GB 10K SAS drives connected to a PERC H745 controller with 4 GB NV cache and battery backup. The controller supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 for flexible data protection. A Broadcom 5720 quad-port 1 GbE OCP 3.0 network card handles connectivity. iDRAC 9 Enterprise enables full remote management, and ready rails with a front bezel are included for immediate rack mounting.

Upgrade from Single-Socket or Older 14G Platforms

This configuration replaces single-socket 1U servers or previous-generation 14G systems when core count, memory bandwidth and front-storage density must increase together. The jump is worth it for workloads that saturate 32 cores per socket and benefit from 12 Gb/s SAS throughput. Buyers who need NVMe-only storage, GPU acceleration or more than 1 TB of memory should evaluate other platforms.
