DELL PowerEdge R650xs 1U 10-bay 2x Silver 4314 2.4GHz 512GB DDR4 H745 10x 1.8TB SAS iDRAC9 Enterprise 2x 1400W

Dense 1U compute platform

The Dell PowerEdge R650xs packs two Intel Xeon Silver 4314 processors, each running at 2.4 GHz with 16 cores, into a single rack unit. It ships with 512 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory across 16 slots and a PERC H745 RAID controller with 4 GB NV cache. Ten 1.8 TB 10K SAS drives fill the front bays, while a Broadcom 5720 quad-port 1 GbE OCP 3.0 card handles networking. Dual 1400 W platinum power supplies and iDRAC9 Enterprise complete the package.

Virtualisation hosts and dense database nodes

This configuration suits teams that need high core counts and large memory capacity in minimal rack space for virtualisation clusters, container platforms or in-memory databases. The 10-bay SAS layout favours capacity and redundancy over all-flash speed. Buyers who want NVMe throughput, GPU acceleration or single-thread frequency above 3.4 GHz turbo should evaluate other chassis.

Ten 1.8 TB SAS drives in a 1U form factor

The 2.5-inch bay count fixes raw storage at 18 TB before RAID overhead, and the SAS interface locks the drive type to 12 Gb/s spinning media. If the workload demands more than 18 TB raw or requires U.2 NVMe latency, this server cannot satisfy it without a different backplane.
