DELL PowerEdge R650xs 1U Rack Server 2x Xeon Silver 4316 2.3GHz 20 Core 256GB DDR4 H745 2x 1400W PSU

PowerEdge R650xs 1U rack server

The Dell PowerEdge R650xs is a 1U rack server built for data centre workloads that demand high compute density. It ships with two Intel Xeon Silver 4316 processors running at 2.3 GHz, each providing 20 cores for parallel processing. The system includes 256 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory and a PERC H745 RAID controller with 4 GB NV cache. Dual 1400 W platinum power supplies and a quad-port 1 GbE OCP 3.0 card complete the configured platform.

Ideal for virtualisation and dense compute.

This server suits teams running virtualisation clusters, cloud infrastructure or high-performance computing where CPU core count and memory reliability matter. The single 1U chassis and eight 2.5-inch drive bays support SATA and SAS media for mixed storage tiers. Buyers who need GPU acceleration for AI training or inference should look elsewhere, as this unit ships without GPU hardware or the optional GPU riser. The installed quad-port 1 GbE adapter also limits throughput for environments that require 10 GbE or 25 GbE networking out of the box.

Eight 2.5-inch bays with SATA/SAS RAID

The storage subsystem centres on eight front-accessible 2.5-inch trays connected to the PERC H745 controller, which supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 across SATA and SAS drives. This bay count and controller combination determines how many drives you can deploy and which redundancy schemes are available. Memory capacity reaches 1 TB across 16 DDR4 slots, but the storage interface and bay quantity are the fixed constraints that define whether this chassis matches your capacity and redundancy plan.
