Dell PowerEdge R650xs 1U rack server

The Dell PowerEdge R650xs is a 1U rack server built for dense compute workloads. It ships with two Intel Xeon Gold 5317 processors, each running at 3.0GHz with 12 cores and 3.6GHz turbo. The system includes 512GB of DDR4 2933MHz registered ECC memory across 16 slots and a PERC H745 RAID controller with 4GB NV cache.

Suited for virtualisation clusters

This configuration fits teams running virtualised workloads, traditional databases, or high-performance computing jobs that benefit from high core counts and large memory capacity. The eight 2.5-inch SAS bays populated with 1.8TB 10K drives provide fast rotational storage. Buyers who need GPU acceleration for AI training, all-flash capacity beyond eight bays, or networking faster than 1GbE should look at other platforms.

PERC H745 RAID controller with 4GB NV cache

The Dell PERC H745 front RAID controller supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 with a 4GB non-volatile cache backed by a battery. This specification determines the range of data-protection layouts and write-performance headroom available to the eight 1.8TB SAS drives installed in the chassis.
