Supermicro SYS-6018U-TR4T+ 1U rack server 2x Xeon E5-2695 v4 256GB DDR4

1U dual Xeon server with 256GB DDR4

The Supermicro SYS-6018U-TR4T+ is a 1U rackmount server equipped with two Intel Xeon E5-2695 v4 processors, each running at 2.10GHz with 18 cores. It ships with 256GB of DDR4 2400MHz registered ECC memory installed across eight 32GB modules. The system includes a MegaRAID 9361-8i controller supporting RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60, plus four 3.5-inch hot-plug drive bays for SATA or SAS drives. Dual 750W platinum power supplies provide redundant power.

Suited for virtualisation and compute clusters

This configuration suits organisations deploying virtualisation hosts, high-performance computing nodes or memory-intensive database workloads that benefit from 36 total cores and a large ECC memory footprint. The quad 10GBase-T ports and IPMI 2.0 with KVM-over-LAN support remote management in dense racks. Buyers who need more than four 3.5-inch drive bays or require front bezel and rack rails included should look elsewhere.

Four 3.5-inch hot-plug bays with MegaRAID

The single specification that decides fit is the storage layout: four 3.5-inch hot-plug bays backed by the LSI MegaRAID 9361-8i controller with 1GB cache and battery backup. This determines how many mechanical drives you can install and which RAID levels are available without adding an external enclosure or a different controller card.
