DELL PowerEdge R650xs 1U rack server 2x Xeon Silver 4316 2.3GHz 20-core 256GB DDR4 H745 8x 960GB SSD

1U Dual-Socket Server for Dense Compute

The Dell PowerEdge R650xs is a 1U rack server equipped with two Intel Xeon Silver 4316 processors running at 2.3 GHz with a 3.4 GHz turbo frequency. Each CPU provides 20 cores, delivering 40 threads in total. The system includes 256 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory across eight 32 GB modules and redundant 1400 W power supplies.

Suits Virtualisation and Cloud Workloads

This configuration targets organisations deploying virtualisation, cloud infrastructure or dense analytics where high core count and fast local storage matter. The eight 960 GB SATA SSDs on a PERC H745 RAID controller support RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60. Buyers who need GPU acceleration, NVMe boot drives or more than two processors should evaluate other platforms.

8-Bay 2.5-Inch SATA Storage Backplane

The chassis holds eight hot-swap 2.5-inch bays wired for SATA and SAS drives; the factory load uses eight 960 GB SATA SSDs. The PERC H745 controller adds 4 GB of NV cache with battery backup. If the workload demands all-flash NVMe arrays or more than eight drive slots, this 1U form factor cannot satisfy that requirement.
