Storage Density

This 4U rack server delivers 36 hot-swap 3.5-inch drive bays driven by dual 16-core Intel Xeon E5-2683 v4 processors at 2.1 GHz and 768 GB of DDR4 ECC memory. The LSI MegaRAID 9361-8i controller supports RAID levels 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 across SATA and SAS interfaces. Quad 10GBase-T ports and IPMI 2.0 management complete the package.

Ideal Use Cases

Archive teams and media libraries needing massive raw capacity in a single chassis will benefit from the 36-bay layout and hardware RAID flexibility. Buyers who require more than eight internal RAID ports or more than 768 GB of installed memory should look elsewhere.

Deciding Specification

The eight-port MegaRAID 9361-8i controller limits the number of drives that can be grouped in a single hardware RAID array. If your design needs more than eight drives per array you will need an additional controller.

Questions about this item

How do I install the 36 drive trays and what step is often missed?

Slide each tray into the 24 front and 12 rear 3.5" bays until the latch clicks; the step often missed is seating the tray fully so the SAS/SATA backplane connector engages and the LED shows activity.

What maintenance will the MegaRAID 9361-8i controller need later?

The controller includes a 1GB cache with battery; monitor the battery health via the MegaRAID utility and replace the battery module when the controller logs a degradation alert to avoid write-cache loss.

What limit appears first under sustained load with the 1280W power supplies?

Each 1280W 80 Plus Platinum PSU delivers up to 1280W; with dual 145W TDP processors, 768GB DDR4, 36 drives and the 9361-8i card, the combined draw can approach the PSU rating, so power headroom is the first constraint.
