36-bay 4U storage server

The Supermicro SYS-6048R-E1CR36N is a 4U rackmount system built for high-density storage workloads. It ships with dual Intel Xeon E5-2683 v4 16-core processors at 2.1 GHz and 512 GB of DDR4-2400 registered ECC memory. A MegaRAID 9361-8i controller manages up to 36 hot-swap 3.5-inch SATA or SAS drive bays across front and rear. Quad 10GBase-T LAN ports and IPMI 2.0 remote management are standard.

Storage-focused teams needing massive hot-swap

This platform suits organisations that need 36 drive bays in a single 4U chassis with hardware RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 support. It is not for buyers who require more than eight direct controller ports or who need a larger memory footprint than 512 GB. Teams wanting integrated graphics beyond the basic Matrox G200 should look elsewhere.

Eight-port MegaRAID 9361-8i controller

The installed LSI MegaRAID 9361-8i provides eight internal SAS 12 Gb/s ports with 1 GB cache and battery backup. This port count limits the number of drives that can be attached directly to the hardware RAID engine without additional HBAs or expanders. Verify that eight ports satisfy your backplane topology before purchase.
