DELL PowerEdge R650xs 1U Rack Server 2x Xeon Silver 4316 2.3GHz 20 Core 128GB DDR4 8x 1.92TB SSD H745

1U Dual-Socket Rack Server

The Dell PowerEdge R650xs is a 1U rack server built for dense compute environments. It ships with two Intel Xeon Silver 4316 processors running at 2.3 GHz with a 3.4 GHz turbo frequency. Each CPU provides 20 cores, giving 40 cores total across the system. The platform uses the LGA 4189 socket and supports a maximum of two processors.

Suited For Virtualisation And Dense Storage

This configuration suits teams running virtualisation clusters, database workloads or high-performance computing jobs that benefit from 128 GB of DDR4 2666 MHz registered ECC memory across eight DIMM slots. The eight 1.92 TB SATA SSDs behind a PERC H745 controller with 4 GB NV cache deliver high-capacity redundant storage. Buyers who need GPU acceleration, NVMe boot drives or more than 1 TB of memory should evaluate other platforms.

PERC H745 RAID Controller With 4 GB Cache

The storage subsystem centres on the Dell PERC H745 front RAID controller equipped with 4 GB of non-volatile cache and a battery backup unit. It supports RAID levels 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 across the eight 2.5-inch drive bays. This controller choice determines the RAID flexibility and cache protection available for the installed SATA SSDs.
