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

Compact 1U density for dense virtualization

The Dell PowerEdge R650 packs two Xeon Silver 4310 processors and 256GB of DDR4 memory into a single rack unit. Ten 960GB SATA SSDs sit behind a PERC H755 controller with 8GB NV cache. Dual 1400W platinum supplies and iDRAC9 Enterprise complete a ready-to-rack platform.

Suits teams running mixed VM fleets on shared

Buyers who need GPU acceleration or direct NVMe attach should look elsewhere. The front bays are limited to SATA and SAS media, and the 1U height leaves no room for full-height add-in cards. Workloads demanding more than two sockets will require a larger chassis.

This drive count and RAID engine define the storage throughput ceiling. The controller supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60, so the array can be tuned for capacity or redundancy, but the SATA interface caps individual drive speed at 6Gb/s.
