Hi,
I am currently planning several storage-intensive servers and stumbled over these 1U servers with 3,5 drives stacked in a 3x4 to 4x4 matrix inside the chassis.
I found several manufactures for that which are all quite similar:
As I can see, Supermicro, Asrock Rack, ASUS and Tyan are offering such 1U servers. The CPUs are ranging from small Xeon-D to 2nd Gen Scalable Xeons and AMD Epyc CPUs and Memory up to 1TB is possible.
When using these Servers, I am able to power down them, if drives are going bad. So even hot-swap is not required.
My main concern is the cooling and thermal issues of such servers! This kind of chassis are already on the market for several years, so I hope someone has some experiences with them.
Did anybody use similar chassis and can report the (thermal) experience with them?
Thanks alot
Daniel
