Supermicro SuperStorage SSG-6048R-E1CR24L

Supermicro SuperStorage SSG-6048R-E1CR24L is a high-density 4U storage server platform designed for demanding, I/O-intensive environments. It combines dual-socket Intel Xeon E5-2600 v3/v4 compute capabilities with large storage capacity and redundant power architecture.

Compute and memory platform

• CPU socket: LGA 2011, dual-socket configuration for Intel Xeon E5-2600 v3/v4 processors
• Supported CPU TDP: up to 145W, enabling deployment of high-core-count SKUs (model-dependent)
• Memory slots: 16 DIMM slots
• Maximum memory capacity: up to 2TB ECC 3DS LRDIMM or up to 512GB ECC RDIMM
• Memory type and speed: DDR4 ECC up to 2400 MHz (depending on CPU and module configuration)

Storage subsystem

• Form factor: 4U rackmount chassis
• Drive bays: 24x 3.5" hot-swap bays (optional support for 2.5" drives using appropriate carriers)
• Drive interfaces: SAS3 + SATA3, enabling mixed HDD and SSD configurations as required
• M.2 NVMe slots: none onboard, allowing a clear separation between data storage and any optional add-in boot or cache solutions via PCIe

Expansion and connectivity

• PCI Express slots: 1x PCIe 3.0 x16 and 6x PCIe 3.0 x8, supporting additional HBAs, RAID controllers, network adapters or accelerator cards (as supported by the platform)
• Network interfaces: 2x RJ-45 10Gb/s, suitable for high-throughput data replication, backup and front-end connectivity
• USB ports (rear): 2x USB 3.0 and 2x USB 2.0 for service, maintenance and peripheral connectivity

Power and efficiency

• Power supplies: 2x redundant PSUs for increased availability
• Power rating: 920W total, designed to support fully populated configurations within platform limits
• Efficiency certification: 80 Plus Platinum, helping reduce power consumption and thermal footprint in data center deployments

Reliability and service

• Redundant power design helps minimize downtime in case of PSU failure
• Hot-swap drive bays enable service and capacity scaling without shutting down the system
• Manufacturer warranty: 36 months (terms and conditions depend on the manufacturer’s policy)

This platform is suitable for scenarios that require a balance of compute performance, large storage capacity and high availability. Typical use cases may include data-intensive workloads, backup targets or software-defined storage stacks, depending on the final system configuration and installed components.
