Supermicro SuperStorage SSG-6048R-E1CR45L

The Supermicro SuperStorage SSG-6048R-E1CR45L is a high-density 4U storage platform designed for environments requiring large-capacity, high-availability storage with enterprise-class reliability. It supports dual Intel Xeon E5-2600 v3/v4 processors in LGA 2011 sockets with a maximum TDP of 145W, providing scalable compute resources for storage-centric workloads.

The system offers extensive memory capacity with 24 DIMM slots, enabling up to 3TB ECC 3DS LRDIMM or 768GB ECC RDIMM. This configuration is suitable for memory-intensive applications such as software-defined storage, virtualization, and large-scale file or object storage.

Storage is the core of this platform. The chassis integrates:

• 45x 3.5" hot-swap drive bays (optionally supporting 2.5" drives) for high-capacity HDDs or SSDs
• 2x 2.5" hot-swap SATA bays for OS, cache or log drives
• SAS3 + SATA3 interfaces on the main backplane, enabling flexible combinations of SAS and SATA media

For expansion, the server provides:

• 2x PCI-E 3.0 x16 slots for high-bandwidth controllers or accelerators
• 1x PCI-E 3.0 x8 slot for additional adapters
• 3x USB 3.0 ports (2 rear, 1 internal Type A) for boot media, service tools or external devices

Network connectivity is designed to be flexible via a dedicated SIOM slot, allowing selection of the appropriate network interface card according to deployment requirements. This approach supports various Ethernet configurations depending on the chosen SIOM card (not specified here).

Power and availability features include:

• 2x redundant 1600W power supplies for continuous operation in case of PSU failure
• 80 Plus Platinum efficiency to reduce power losses and thermal output
• Enterprise-grade design intended for 24/7 data center workloads
• 36-month manufacturer warranty for long-term hardware assurance

The SuperStorage SSG-6048R-E1CR45L is engineered as a dense storage building block for data centers, backup targets, large file repositories and other capacity-focused infrastructures where reliability, serviceability and power efficiency are critical. No onboard M.2 NVMe slots are specified, so boot and cache configurations should be planned using the available hot-swap drive bays and PCI-E expansion options.
