DELL PowerEdge R650 1U rack server 2x Xeon Silver 4316 2.3GHz 20-core 128GB DDR4 10x 960GB SSD H755

Dual 20-core Xeon 1U server

The Dell PowerEdge R650 is a 1U rack server equipped with two Intel Xeon Silver 4316 processors. Each CPU runs at 2.3GHz with 20 cores, providing 40 cores total. The system includes 128GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory across eight 16GB modules. It is built for dense enterprise workloads in a compact form factor.

Virtualisation and database hosts

This configuration suits organisations running virtualisation clusters, database instances or private cloud nodes that need high core counts and fast local storage in a single rack unit. The ten 960GB SATA SSDs and H755 RAID controller deliver substantial capacity with hardware RAID flexibility. Buyers needing GPU acceleration, NVMe-only storage or larger memory footprints per socket should evaluate other platforms.

Ten 960GB SATA SSDs with H755 RAID

The storage subsystem centres on ten enterprise 960GB SATA 6Gb/s 2.5-inch solid-state drives managed by the PERC H755 controller with 8GB NV cache and battery backup. Supported RAID levels include 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60. This combination determines whether the server meets your capacity, redundancy and throughput requirements.
