DELL PowerEdge R650 1U rack server 2x Xeon Gold 6338 32-core 2.0GHz 768GB DDR4 10x 600GB SAS H755 2x 1400W PSU

Built for dense enterprise compute

The Dell PowerEdge R650 is a 1U rack server fitted with two Intel Xeon Gold 6338 processors running at 2.0 GHz with 3.2 GHz turbo. It carries 768 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory across 24 slots and a PERC H755 RAID controller with 8 GB NV cache. Ten 600 GB 10 K SAS drives and a quad-port 1 GbE OCP 3.0 card provide storage and networking, while dual 1400 W platinum supplies and iDRAC9 Enterprise handle power and remote management. Rails and a front bezel are included.

Suits virtualisation and database clusters

This configuration targets workloads that need high core counts, large memory capacity and fast SAS storage in a single rack unit. Buyers who require NVMe acceleration, GPU expansion or more than ten drive bays should look at a different chassis. Organisations without 12 Gb/s SAS infrastructure or with limited rack depth will also need to verify compatibility before purchase.

Deciding factor: ten 2.5-inch SAS bays

The server ships with exactly ten 600 GB 10 K SAS drives and no empty bays, so the total raw capacity and spindle speed are fixed by this backplane. If the deployment needs larger drives, solid-state media or additional bays, this unit cannot accommodate them without a hardware change.
