Supermicro SuperStorage SSG-6048R-E1CR60N

The Supermicro SuperStorage SSG-6048R-E1CR60N is a 4U high-density storage server platform engineered for data-intensive and capacity-focused environments. It supports dual Intel Xeon E5-2600 v3/v4 processors in LGA 2011 sockets with CPU TDP up to 160 W, enabling robust compute performance for storage services, virtualization layers or data processing tasks.

The system offers extensive memory scalability with 24 DIMM slots, supporting up to 3 TB ECC 3DS LRDIMM or 768 GB ECC RDIMM. This configuration allows stable, error-corrected operation under heavy I/O and metadata workloads.

Storage subsystem

• Form factor: 4U rackmount chassis
• Drive bays: 60x 3.5" hot-swap + 2x 2.5" hot-swap
• Drive size support: native 3.5", optional 2.5"
• Drive interfaces: SAS3 + SATA3 (main backplane)
• M.2 NVMe slots: 0

This high bay-count design is suitable for building large-capacity storage pools, tiered storage or dense backup targets while maintaining serviceability via hot-swap trays.

Compute and expansion

• CPU sockets: Dual LGA 2011
• Supported CPU family: Intel Xeon E5-2600 v3/v4
• Max CPU TDP: 160 W
• Memory slots: 24 DIMM
• Max memory: up to 3 TB ECC 3DS LRDIMM or 768 GB ECC RDIMM
• PCIe expansion: 2x PCI-E 3.0 x16, 1x PCI-E 3.0 x8

The PCIe 3.0 slots provide capacity for storage controllers, cache adapters or additional I/O cards, allowing the platform to be tailored to specific performance and connectivity requirements.

Power and efficiency

• Power supplies: 2x redundant PSUs
• Total power: 2000 W
• Efficiency rating: 80 Plus Titanium

Redundant, high-efficiency power supplies help maintain uptime and reduce energy losses in continuous-operation environments.

Connectivity and I/O

• USB ports: 3x USB 3.0 (2 rear, 1 Type A)
• Networking: connectivity via optional SIOM network card

The SIOM (Supermicro I/O Module) approach allows flexible network configuration via dedicated network cards, depending on deployment needs.

Reliability and service

• Redundant power design for increased availability
• Hot-swap drive bays for non-disruptive replacement
• Manufacturer warranty: 36 months

The SuperStorage SSG-6048R-E1CR60N is designed as a scalable, serviceable and power-efficient platform for enterprise storage applications where high capacity and consistent performance are required.
