4/28/2023 0 Comments Superphoto servers![]() We were looking at the compute module which can be removed from the chassis completely. Supermicro SuperStorage SSG 6049SP DE1CR60 CoverĪs part of the company’s green IT push, it is using a design where the main chassis can stay installed but other parts swapped and upgraded. Here is a quick photo of one in the disk drawer partially removed next to one that is still in the system. Even the SAS expanders are hot-swappable. In this revision, Supermicro made a big push for serviceability. Supermicro SuperStorage SSG 6049SP DE1CR60 Top Drive Area The main chassis stays in the rack but a drawer with four rows of fifteen drives each can slide out to be serviced. In Supermicro’s new design, there is a new drawer design. For higher densities, top-loading designs are very popular. One can find 4U platforms with both hot and cold aisle storage that can utilize 36x 3.5″ individually serviceable bays. Typical front-mounted 4U storage servers get 24x 3.5″ bays. Perhaps the highlight feature of the new top-loading design are the 60x 3.5″ drive bays. Supermicro SuperStorage SSG 6049SP DE1CR60 Front Three Quarter Pulled Out To be frank, the 60-bay version was easier to move but much of the same principles apply to the other products as well. We are just going to quickly note that Supermicro has other configurations including a 90-bay server and JBOD versions of these systems. The new Supermicro 60-bay top-loading system we are looking at has a model number of SSG-6049SP-DE1CR60 which is very long and perhaps fitting for such a massive machine. Look for more in this series coming to STH over the coming weeks. I was able to pick the products we would look at and have editorial control of the pieces (nobody is reviewing these pieces outside of STH before they go live either.) In full transparency, this was the only way to get something like this done, including looking at a number of products in one shot, without going to a trade show during shelter-in-place. We did a whole series but are tagging this as sponsored since we relied upon their facilities instead of our own. As a quick note, Supermicro filmed the video bits at their HQ, provided the systems in their demo room, and their product managers that were able to make it. We are going to have more detail in this article, but want to provide the option to listen. As a part of that series, we have an accompanying video: We also looked at the Simply Double platform. We previously looked at the Supermicro SYS-240P-TNRT 4P 3rd Gen Xeon Scalable Server which we showcased alongside the Cooper Lake launch. This is part of our visit to the Supermicro HQ post-lockdown series. That allowed me to get some hands-on time without having to move a server that weighs more than a person around a data center. Instead, I drove over to Supermicro headquarters and checked out the new system. Normally, we would cover the platform at trade shows, but without trade shows in 2020, that is hard to get hands-on time. When I heard that Supermicro had a new and updated design, and I knew we would be doing a day at Supermicro looking at products, I thought this is a platform we needed to look at. ![]() In the world of storage, perhaps nothing says built for a specific purpose like the top-loading storage server segment.
