DELL PowerEdge R650xs 1U Rack Server 2x Xeon Silver 4316 2.3GHz 20 Core 256GB DDR4 10x 960GB SSD

1U Rack Server for Dense Compute

The Dell PowerEdge R650xs is a 1U rack server built for data-centre density. Two Intel Xeon Silver 4316 processors provide 40 total cores at 2.3 GHz with 3.4 GHz turbo. 256 GB of DDR4 2666 MHz registered ECC memory and ten 960 GB SATA SSDs are installed. The PERC H745 controller supports RAID 0/1/5/6/10/50/60 with 4 GB NV cache. Dual 10 GbE SFP+ networking and iDRAC9 Enterprise management are included.

Ideal for Virtualisation and Cloud Workloads

This server suits teams running virtualisation, cloud infrastructure or dense analytics in a single rack unit. Buyers who need GPU acceleration for AI training should look elsewhere because no GPU is installed. Organisations requiring more than 1 TB of memory or additional drive bays beyond the ten 2.5 inch slots will need a larger chassis. The fixed 1400 W platinum power supplies cannot be swapped for lower-wattage units.

10-Bay 2.5-Inch SATA SSD Configuration

The chassis holds exactly ten 2.5-inch SATA solid-state drives, all populated with 960 GB enterprise SSDs. This drive count and interface determine the raw storage capacity and RAID options available through the H745 controller. No NVMe or SAS drives are fitted, so performance and expansion are limited to the SATA 6 Gb/s interface.
