DELL PowerEdge R650 1U rack server 2x Xeon Silver 4310 12C 2.1GHz 768GB DDR4 H755 10x 2.5

Dual-socket 1U density

The Dell PowerEdge R650 packs two Intel Xeon Silver 4310 processors into a single rack unit, delivering 24 total cores at 2.1 GHz with a 3.3 GHz turbo frequency. It targets virtualization hosts, database clusters and dense private-cloud nodes that need high thread count in minimal rack space.

Memory ceiling and drive bays

The 768 GB of DDR4-2666 registered ECC memory fills 24 slots, leaving eight DIMM positions open for expansion toward the 2 TB maximum. Ten front-accessible 2.5-inch SAS/SATA trays suit workloads that prioritize drive count over individual NVMe speed, while the PERC H755 with 8 GB NV cache handles RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60.

Single-socket or GPU-heavy builds

Buyers who need only one processor or require multiple PCIe Gen4 slots for GPU accelerators should evaluate other platforms, because this configuration occupies both CPU sockets and focuses on storage and networking density instead.
