Supermicro Storage SuperServer SSG-121E-NES24R Review (24x E1.S)
Storage Review, Friday, April 28,2023
The Supermicro Storage SuperServer SSG-121E-NES24R is a dual-socket server that supports the latest 4th generation Intel Xeon Scalable processors, up to 32 DIMMs, and support for 24 E1.S SSDs.
The server is designed for hyperscalers and others that require massive scale and density via the 24 hot-swappable NVMe drive bays, PCIe 5.0 x16 expansion slots, and two OCP slots. Additionally, the server features redundant 2000W power supplies to ensure maximum uptime and reliability.
The SSG-121E-NES24R's focus on the E1.S SSD form factor makes it an ideal choice for dense and massive-scale servers. Primarily this allows for a high storage density, as the server can accommodate 24 NVME SSDs in a single rack U. This is particularly important for hyperscale data centers that require high-capacity storage but have limited physical space available to them. Moreover, the server supports Gen5 E1.S SSDs, which means even more performance as more Gen5 SSDs come to market.
