Dell PowerEdge R650xs rack server 2x Xeon Silver 4310 2.1GHz 256GB DDR4 8x 1.92TB SATA H745 2x 1400W

Dense 1U Compute Node

The Dell PowerEdge R650xs is a 1U rack server built for space-constrained data centres. It ships with two Intel Xeon Silver 4310 processors, each running at 2.1 GHz with 12 cores. The system includes 256 GB of DDR4 memory across eight 32 GB modules. Dual 1400 W platinum power supplies provide redundant hot-swap power.

Virtualisation Hosts, Not GPU Farms

This server suits teams running virtualisation, cloud infrastructure or dense analytics workloads that fit in a 1U form factor. The eight 2.5-inch drive bays and PERC H745 RAID controller support mixed SATA and SAS arrays. Buyers who need GPU acceleration for AI training or more than two processor sockets should evaluate larger platforms.

Eight-Bay Front Storage

The defining specification is the eight 2.5-inch front bays populated with 1.92 TB SATA SSDs behind a PERC H745 controller with 4 GB NV cache. This layout fixes raw capacity at roughly 15 TB and limits drive choices to SATA or SAS devices. Confirm the bay count and controller match your storage topology before ordering.
