Supermicro SuperStorage SSG-2028R-DE2CR24L

Supermicro SuperStorage SSG-2028R-DE2CR24L is a high-density 2U storage server platform designed for dual Intel Xeon E5-2600 v3/v4 processors in LGA 2011 socket. It combines high memory capacity, redundant power and flexible storage connectivity for demanding data-center and enterprise workloads.

Key hardware specifications

• Processor support: Dual-socket LGA 2011 for Intel Xeon E5-2600 v3/v4, up to 145W TDP per CPU.
• Memory subsystem: 8 DIMM slots, up to 1TB total using ECC 3DS LRDIMM or ECC RDIMM DDR4-2400 modules (depending on configuration).
• Chassis form factor: 2U rackmount enclosure optimized for storage applications.
• Drive bays: 12x 2.5" hot-swap bays for SAS3 and SATA3 drives (main interface SAS3+SATA3).
• Expansion slots: 3x PCI Express 3.0 x8 low-profile slots for additional controllers or network adapters.
• Network interfaces: 2x RJ-45 10Gb/s Ethernet ports for high-throughput connectivity.
• M.2 support: No onboard M.2 NVMe slots.
• USB connectivity: 3x USB 3.0 (2x rear ports, 1x internal Type-A).
• Power supply: 2x 1200W redundant power supplies with 80 Plus Titanium efficiency.
• Warranty: 36-month manufacturer warranty.

Operational advantages

• High compute density: Dual Xeon E5-2600 v3/v4 support enables multi-core, multi-threaded processing for virtualization, storage services and data processing.
• Large memory footprint: Up to 1TB ECC DDR4-2400 allows consolidation of memory-intensive workloads and improves data integrity via ECC.
• Flexible storage configuration: 12x 2.5" hot-swap bays with SAS3+SATA3 support enable mixed SSD/HDD setups and straightforward serviceability.
• High network throughput: Dual 10GbE RJ-45 ports provide sufficient bandwidth for storage traffic, backup and clustered environments.
• Redundancy and availability: Dual 1200W redundant PSUs with 80 Plus Titanium efficiency help minimize downtime and improve power usage effectiveness.

Use-case orientation

• Suitable as a storage-focused server platform in data centers and enterprise environments where dual-socket compute and 2.5" hot-swap drive bays are required.
• Can be integrated into existing rack infrastructures that rely on SAS3/SATA3 storage backends and 10GbE networking.
