Supermicro SYS-5019S-W4TR 1U rack server E3-1280 v5 32GB 4x3.5

Compact 1U rack server with Xeon E3-1280 v5

The Supermicro SYS-5019S-W4TR is a new 1U rackmount server system built around a single Intel Xeon E3-1280 v5 processor running at 3.7 GHz with four cores. It ships with 32 GB of DDR4 ECC memory installed across four DIMM slots and includes an LSI MegaRAID 9361-8i controller with 1 GB cache. Four hot-swap 3.5-inch drive bays support SATA and SAS drives, while networking is handled by four 10GBase-T ports via an Intel X540 controller. Dual redundant 500 W power supplies and IPMI 2.0 management complete the package.

Suits dense storage and 10 GbE needs.

This server fits organisations that need a shallow 1U chassis with four 3.5-inch hot-swap bays and built-in 10 GbE connectivity for file serving, virtualisation, or edge workloads. The Xeon E3-1280 v5 and 32 GB DDR4 ECC give reliable performance for light to moderate multi-threaded tasks. It is not for buyers who need more than four drive bays, require a second processor socket, or want GPU compute capability beyond the basic Matrox G200 graphics. The single PCIe 3.0 x8 slot limits additional expansion cards.

Deciding spec: four 3.5-inch hot-swap bays

The key specification is the combination of four 3.5-inch SATA/SAS hot-swap drive bays backed by the MegaRAID 9361-8i controller supporting RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 with 1 GB battery-backed cache. This determines whether the chassis can hold the required spinning-disk capacity and provide hardware RAID redundancy in a 1U form factor. If the deployment needs more bays, 2.5-inch density, or a different RAID feature set, this model will not match.
