Dell PowerEdge R650xs 1U 10x2.5" 2x Xeon Gold 6338 64GB DDR4 H745 10x1.8TB SAS 57412 iDRAC9 2x1400W

Dell PowerEdge R650xs 1U server

The Dell PowerEdge R650xs is a 1U rack server built for dense compute environments. It ships with two Intel Xeon Gold 6338 processors, each running at 2.0 GHz with a 3.2 GHz turbo frequency and 32 cores. The system includes 64 GB of DDR4 3200 MHz registered ECC memory across four 16 GB modules. A PERC H745 RAID controller with 4 GB non-volatile cache manages ten 1.8 TB 10K SAS drives.

Suits virtualization and dense analytics

This configuration targets workloads that demand high core counts and fast local storage in a single rack unit. The ten drive bays and hardware RAID support suit databases, virtualization hosts, and high-performance computing clusters. Buyers who need GPU acceleration for AI training or larger memory capacity per socket should evaluate other platforms. The fixed 1U depth also limits expansion card options compared to 2U designs.

Sustained load with dual 1400 W supplies

Under continuous load the dual 1400 W platinum power supplies provide redundancy and headroom for both CPUs at turbo frequencies. The PERC H745 battery-backed cache protects write performance during extended write-heavy periods. iDRAC9 Enterprise enables remote monitoring of thermals and power draw without OS dependence. The Broadcom 57412 dual-port 10 GbE SFP+ OCP card maintains network throughput during prolonged data transfers.
