- The high density 4U storage server AIC SB407-VA has 60 HDD and 8 SSD Bahías
- Admits Xeon CPUS, DDR5, PCIE GEN5 and NVME, SAS, SATA CONNECTIVITY
- Redundant cooling and energy administration keep the 80 kg server reliable in heavy work loads
AIC SB407-VA is a new high density storage server of 4U built to cover the units. Admit 60 3.5 -inch adjustable bays, 8 2.5 -inch bays and 2 m.2 slots, with the objective of raw storage storage.
Use intellable scalable processors Dual 4th and 5th Gen and modern characteristics such as DDR5 and PCIE GEN5.
Created for AI tasks, data analysis and large -scale data lakes, the server offers multiple PCIE GEN5, support m.2 and a combination of NVME, SAS and SATA connectivity.
Why not 3.5 inches?
To keep the hardware running under pressure, use redundant air flow fans from front to back, redundant hot exchange fans and redundant supplies of 800 W.
The server includes incorporated administration tools to provide energy, cooling and health of the system, even if the machine itself is inactive.
A 434 x 853 x 176 mm and with a weight of approximately 80 kg (around the same weight as a washing machine), the SB407-VA includes food and storage in a compact unit that adapts perfectly to a standard data center shelf.
The system has been built to balance the scale and resilience, giving companies a way to combine a massive storage with a modern computation, but with all those bays dedicated to 3.5 -inch units, it made me think something that I had never considered before: why is there no 3.5 -inch SSD?
The answer (I suspect I already knew) is simple. SSD simply do not need space.
Flash chips and controllers occupy such little space that they easily adjust within a 2.5 -inch or minor form factor. The biggest enclosures would be mostly empty.
To fill a 3.5 inches, I would need to add more chips, and that would simply generate costs without offering real performance benefits.
Data centers also prefer 2.5 -inch units because they allow greater capacity in a limited space on the shelf, which makes them more practical than the largest formats.
Then, while the SB407-VA shows why the 3.5-inch bays remain essential, the SSDs will remain small, leaving those bays to turn the oxide.
