DELL PowerEdge R650 1U rack server 2× Xeon Silver 4310 2.1GHz 12-core 256GB DDR4 10× 960GB SSD H755

PowerEdge R650 1U server with dual Xeon Silver 4310

This 1U rack server ships with two Intel Xeon Silver 4310 processors at 2.1 GHz, each with 12 cores. It includes 256 GB of DDR4 2666 MHz registered ECC memory across eight 32 GB modules. Storage is handled by a PERC H755 RAID controller with 8 GB NV cache and battery, driving ten 960 GB SATA SSDs in 2.5 inch bays. Dual 1400 W platinum power supplies, iDRAC9 Enterprise, a dual-port 10 GbE SFP+ OCP 3.0 card, rails and bezel complete the package.

Suited for virtualisation.

The dual-socket design and high core count serve multi-threaded applications and virtual machine density well. The ten-drive bay layout and hardware RAID controller support local storage performance and redundancy. Buyers who need GPU acceleration or more than two processors should evaluate other platforms. Organisations requiring fibre-channel connectivity or larger 3.5 inch drive bays will need a different chassis.

PERC H755 RAID controller

This controller supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60, providing flexibility for performance or data protection. The onboard NV cache with battery backup helps preserve write data during power loss. Confirm the controller firmware and drive firmware versions match your operational requirements before deployment.
