Supermicro SuperStorage SSG-6038R-E1CR16N

The Supermicro SuperStorage SSG-6038R-E1CR16N is a high-density 3U storage server platform engineered for enterprise workloads requiring high I/O throughput, large memory capacity and redundant power. It supports dual Intel Xeon E5-2600 v3/v4 processors (LGA2011) with a maximum TDP of 145W, enabling scalable multi-core configurations.

The system is optimized for large-capacity storage deployments, featuring 16 hot-swap 3.5" drive bays (with optional 2.5" support) connected via SAS3 + SATA3. This makes it suitable for building high-throughput storage arrays based on SAS or SATA drives, depending on the environment and use case.

With 24 DIMM slots, the platform supports up to 3TB ECC 3DS LRDIMM or up to 1.5TB ECC RDIMM/LRDIMM DDR4-2400MHz memory. This high memory footprint is designed for memory-intensive applications and large caching layers.

• Processor support: Dual LGA 2011 sockets, Intel Xeon E5-2600 v3/v4 family, max CPU TDP 145W
• Form factor: 3U rackmount chassis
• Memory: 24 DIMM slots, up to 3TB ECC 3DS LRDIMM or 1.5TB ECC RDIMM/LRDIMM, DDR4-2400MHz
• Drive bays: 16x 3.5" hot-swap bays (optional 2.5"), SAS3 + SATA3 interface
• Expansion slots: 2x PCI-E 3.0 x16, 3x PCI-E 3.0 x8, 1x PCI-E 2.0 x4 (in x8 slot)
• Network connectivity: 4x RJ-45 10Gb/s ports for high-bandwidth networking and link redundancy
• USB interfaces: 3x USB 3.0 (2 rear, 1 Type A), 2x USB 2.0 (front)
• M.2 NVMe: 0 onboard M.2 NVMe slots
• Power: 2x redundant 920W power supplies, 80 Plus Platinum efficiency
• Manufacturer warranty: 36 months

The redundant 920W power supplies with 80 Plus Platinum certification are designed to provide stable power delivery with high efficiency, supporting continuous operation in data center environments and reducing energy losses.

Multiple PCI Express 3.0 slots allow integration of additional HBAs, RAID controllers or network adapters as required by the deployment scenario. The integrated 10GbE ports provide high network throughput without requiring additional NICs, which is beneficial for storage-centric use cases where network bandwidth is critical.

This platform is intended for scenarios where high storage density, memory capacity and power redundancy are key requirements. Specific performance characteristics and software stack will depend on the selected CPUs, drives, controllers and operating system, which are not defined in the provided data.
