4U rackmount chassis for distributed storage

The HOTCFWQ G465-08 is a 4U server chassis built for high-density storage deployments. It fits a standard 19-inch rack and holds eight hot-swappable 3.5-inch drive bays that also accept 2.5-inch drives. A 12Gb/s MINI SAS backplane with a temperature control chipset connects the drives. The chassis is constructed from 1.0mm SGCC steel with an anti-fingerprint finish.

Suits GPU compute and AI workloads needing dense

This chassis targets builders assembling GPU servers for AI, edge computing, deep learning or rendering where local storage capacity is critical. Eleven full-height vertical PCIe slots provide room for multiple accelerator cards. Buyers who need more than eight drive bays or a backplane faster than 12Gb/s SAS should consider a different platform.

12Gb/s SAS backplane determines drive performance

The installed backplane runs at 12Gb/s per port with an optional 6Gb/s mode, setting the maximum throughput for every drive in the eight bays. It uses MINI SAS connectors and includes a temperature control chipset. Match your controller and drives to this 12Gb/s SAS interface to utilise the full bandwidth.

Questions about this item

How many 3.5-inch drive bays does the G465-08 provide and can I use 2.5-inch drives instead?

The chassis has 8 bays for 3.5-inch HDDs and they also accept 2.5-inch HDDs or SSDs.

What does the 12Gb/s MINI SAS backplane mean for drive speed once the server is built?

It supports SAS drives at up to 12 Gb/s per lane; actual throughput depends on the drives and controller you install.

Does the 12Gb/s SAS backplane limit the number of drives I can connect?

The backplane serves all 8 bays through MINI SAS connectors, so every bay can run at the full 12 Gb/s rate.
