Supermicro SuperStorage SSG-6048R-E1CR60L

Supermicro SuperStorage SSG-6048R-E1CR60L is a high-density 4U storage platform designed for mission-critical, I/O-intensive environments. It combines dual-socket processing, very high memory capacity and 60-bay hot-swap storage in a single chassis.

Compute platform

• Socket / CPU support: 2x LGA 2011, Intel Xeon E5-2600 v3/v4 family
• CPU TDP: up to 160 W per processor
• Form factor: 4U rackmount server chassis

Memory subsystem

• DIMM slots: 24
• Maximum capacity: up to 3 TB ECC 3DS LRDIMM or up to 768 GB ECC RDIMM
• ECC support: designed for increased data integrity and system stability

Storage subsystem

• Hot-swap bays: 60x 3.5" + 2x 2.5" drive bays
• Drive sizes: 2.5" and 3.5"
• Drive interfaces: SAS3 + SATA3 (main interface)
• Design focus: high-capacity, scalable storage for large datasets and archival or high-throughput workloads

Expansion and connectivity

• PCI Express: 2x PCI-E 3.0 x16, 1x PCI-E 3.0 x8
• USB ports: 3x USB 3.0 (2x rear, 1x Type A)
• Networking: network connectivity available via optional SIOM card (no fixed on-board RJ45 ports specified)
• M.2 NVMe slots: 0

Power and reliability

• Power supplies: 2x 2000 W redundant units
• Efficiency: 80 Plus Titanium
• Redundancy: dual hot-plug PSUs for continuous operation in case of a single PSU failure
• Warranty: 36 months manufacturer warranty

Key benefits

• High storage density: 60x 3.5" bays plus 2x 2.5" bays enable consolidation of large datasets in a single 4U system.
• Balanced performance: dual Xeon E5-2600 v3/v4 support and up to 3 TB ECC memory allow the platform to handle both compute and storage-heavy workloads.
• Serviceability: hot-swap drive bays and redundant power supplies support non-disruptive maintenance and high availability.
• Scalability: multiple PCI-E 3.0 slots and SIOM-based networking provide flexibility for HBAs, RAID controllers and network adapters tailored to specific deployment scenarios.
