Supermicro SYS-6028U-TR4T+ 2U rack server 2x Xeon E5-2660 v4 14C 32GB DDR4 12x 3.5" bays

Dual-socket 2U rack server

The Supermicro SYS-6028U-TR4T+ is a 2U rackmount server fitted with two Intel Xeon E5-2660 v4 processors, each running at 2.0 GHz with 14 cores. It ships with 32 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory across four 8 GB modules. Twelve front-accessible 3.5-inch hot-plug bays accept SATA or SAS drives and connect to an LSI MegaRAID 9361-8i controller that supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60.

Suits dense storage workloads

This platform suits teams that need dual-processor compute paired with twelve 3.5-inch drive slots in a 2U footprint, plus four 10GBase-T ports from the Intel X540 adapter and IPMI 2.0 remote management. Buyers who want more than twelve 3.5-inch bays, or who require 2.5-inch drive carriers, should look at a different chassis. Workloads that demand GPU acceleration will not be served by the onboard Matrox G200 graphics with 8 MB video memory.

Twelve 3.5-inch hot-plug bays

The single specification that decides fit is the twelve 3.5-inch hot-plug drive bays backed by the MegaRAID 9361-8i controller. If the deployment requires exactly twelve large-form-factor SATA or SAS drives with hardware RAID, this server matches that requirement; if the bay count or form factor differs, another system is needed.
