36-Bay 4U Storage Server

The Supermicro SYS-6048R-E1CR36N is a 4U rackmount system built around dual Intel Xeon E5-2683 v4 processors. Each CPU delivers 16 cores at 2.1 GHz with a 3.0 GHz turbo frequency. The chassis provides 36 hot-swap 3.5-inch bays for SATA or SAS drives and includes a MegaRAID 9361-8i hardware controller with 1 GB cache. Quad 10GBase-T ports and IPMI 2.0 management come standard.

Ideal for Dense Archival Workloads

This platform suits organisations that need massive raw capacity in a single rack unit, such as backup repositories, media archives or surveillance storage. The 128 GB DDR4 ECC memory and dual 16-core CPUs handle parity calculations and filesystem overhead comfortably. Buyers who require all-flash performance, GPU acceleration or more than 8 internal RAID ports should evaluate alternative platforms.

MegaRAID 9361-8i 8-Port Controller

The included LSI MegaRAID 9361-8i provides eight internal SAS 12 Gb/s lanes with RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 support and a battery-backed 1 GB cache. It connects to the 36-bay backplane through expander circuitry, so the eight physical ports manage all drive slots. If your design demands a dedicated RAID lane per drive or a 16-port controller, this server does not meet that requirement.

Questions about this item

Which drive-bay count matches my storage density needs?

The chassis provides 36 hot-swap 3.5" bays split between 24 front and 12 rear positions, all served by the onboard SAS/SATA backplane.

What does the 2.1 GHz Xeon clock mean for sustained throughput?

Each E5-2683 v4 runs at 2.1 GHz base with 3.0 GHz turbo across its 16 cores, staying within the 145 W TDP for consistent compute density.

How does the 10GBase-T X540 interface perform on existing copper?

Four RJ45 ports deliver 10 Gb/s over Cat6a up to 100 m, with automatic fallback to 1 Gb/s and 100 Mb/s on older cabling.
