Supermicro SYS-6018U-TR4T+ 1U rack server 2× Xeon E5-2683 v4 2.1 GHz 16 GB DDR4 4× 3.5″ bays

Compact dual-socket 1U server

The Supermicro SYS-6018U-TR4T+ is a 1U rackmount system built around two Intel Xeon E5-2683 v4 processors running at 2.1 GHz with 16 cores each. It arrives with 16 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory and a MegaRAID 9361-8i controller supporting RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 across four hot-plug 3.5-inch SATA or SAS drive bays. Quad 10GBase-T ports and a dedicated IPMI 2.0 LAN port provide high-speed networking and remote management. Dual 750 W redundant power supplies complete the package.

Ideal for dense compute and storage nodes

This server suits teams deploying virtualization hosts, HPC clusters or cloud infrastructure where rack density and dual-socket performance matter. The four 3.5-inch bays favour capacity over drive count, and the 16 GB memory is a starting point for memory-heavy workloads. Buyers needing more than four drive bays, front bezel or rack rails included, or a GPU beyond the Matrox G200 with 8 MB video memory should look at other configurations.

Deciding factor: four 3.5-inch hot-plug bays

The fixed count of four 3.5-inch SATA/SAS hot-plug bays determines whether this chassis matches your storage layout. If the design calls for more spindles or 2.5-inch drives, a different platform is required.
