Supermicro SYS-8048B-TRFT 4U rack server 4x Xeon E7-4890 v2 2.8GHz 15-core 256GB DDR3 24x 3.5" bays

Quad-Socket Server with 24 Hot-Swap Bays

The Supermicro SYS-8048B-TRFT is a 4U rackmount server populated with four Intel Xeon E7-4890 v2 processors running at 2.8 GHz with 15 cores each. It includes 256 GB of DDR3 1600 MHz registered ECC memory across 32 modules. The chassis provides 24 front-accessible 3.5-inch hot-swap bays for SATA or SAS drives and four redundant 1620 W platinum power supplies.

Suits storage-heavy workloads

This system suits organisations that need high core counts and large internal drive capacity in a single 4U enclosure. Buyers who need more than 24 drive bays or require a different processor family should evaluate alternative platforms. The installed MegaRAID 9361-8i controller supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 for flexible data protection.

24 front 3.5-inch hot-swap bays define capacity

The single specification that decides fit is the 24-bay 3.5-inch hot-swap backplane, which sets the maximum number of spinning drives or SSDs the server can hold internally. Expansion beyond this limit requires external enclosures or a different chassis.
