Purpose-built dense compute
The Dell PowerEdge R650xs is a 1U rack server fitted with two Intel Xeon Gold 6330 processors, 512GB of DDR4 memory and ten 1.8TB SAS hard drives. It targets virtualisation clusters, cloud infrastructure and high-performance computing workloads that need maximum throughput in minimum rack space. The H745 RAID controller and iDRAC9 Enterprise simplify deployment and ongoing management.
Fit and alternatives
This configuration suits operators who need ready-to-run density with dual-socket performance and integrated remote management. Buyers who require GPU acceleration for AI workloads, NVMe storage tiers or a different drive count should evaluate other chassis options. The fixed 1U height also limits PCIe expansion compared with larger form factors.
Deciding specification
The server provides ten 2.5-inch bays populated with 1.8TB 10K SAS drives delivering 12Gb/s throughput. If your workload demands more raw capacity, faster flash media or a different drive interface, this exact chassis and backplane will not meet the requirement.

Questions about this item
What SAS speed does the PERC H745 controller support for the 1.8TB drives?
The H745 controller supports 12Gb/s SAS for the ten 1.8TB 10K drives installed in the 2.5-inch bays.
What does the 1U server need to fit into a rack?
The chassis is a 1U rack unit and includes Ready Rails plus a front bezel for mounting.
How are the CPUs and memory installed, and what step is often missed?
Two Xeon Gold 6330 processors are pre-installed in LGA 4189 sockets with 512GB DDR4 2933MHz ECC across 16 DIMM slots; the step often missed is populating memory channels evenly per processor for full bandwidth.
