SM E5 V1/ V2 system $299 auction

[MiniKnight]

It's a strange model but appears to have quad LAN, 16 2.5in bays and a SAS 2108 in it. Photos also show heatsinks. Auction but there won't be much interest since it isn't a mainstream model Supermicro 2027R-N3RFT+ 2U Barebone Server CSE-219 SUPPORTS E5 LGA2011 CPU`S I hope someone here gets it. It comes with drive trays so it's a better deal to me at $299 than that Quanta at $270 with no trays.

I thought that the Quanta came with trays?

The one I was looking at was a 3.5" one with no trays.

A few of these have sold recently between low $400s to high $500s, sometimes with low-end cpus (e5-2609) and 8gb installed.

Somebody has a bunch of them they are unloading. There will be more. Wait 'till the end of the auction and put in a bid at the last 10 seconds. If you don't win don't worry - seems like there will be more.

One note - half of the disks come from the on board SAS which is a SAS1 controller. Might not matter for slower spinny drives like the 4tb seagate drives, but bad news for SSD. Of course there is plenty of PCIe available to add a second LSI-based HBA.

I was happy with the Quanta. Came with trays (3.5" not 2.5"), lsi raid/hba, and dual 10gbe sfp.

The quanta picture doesn't show drive trays but it does indeed include them. Mine came with 12x 3.5" and 2x 2.5" in the rear. Along with LSI 2008 HBA and dual intel based 10GBe SFP and more memory slots (24 vs 16 on this)

if you really wanted 2.5" chassis then this isn't a bad deal, but it's still more expensive.
