Supermicro CSE-847E2C-R1K23JBOD 4U 44-Bay JBOD Storage Enclosure (SAS3/SATA3, 1230W Redundant, Black)

Data centers and enterprises wrestling with massive storage growth will find the Supermicro CSE-847E2C-R1K23JBOD a natural fit. This 4U rackmount JBOD enclosure packs 44 hot-swap 3.5" drive bays—24 up front and 20 in the rear—into a dense, dual-path SAS3/SATA3 architecture. Connect it to your existing HBA or RAID controller via six external Mini-SAS HD ports and scale capacity without rebuilding your server stack.

Key specifications

• Form factor: 4U rackmount storage enclosure (JBOD)
• Total drive bays: 44 hot-swap 3.5" (24 front + 20 rear)
• Drive interfaces: SAS3 12Gb/s and SATA3 6Gb/s via dual-path backplane
• External host connectivity: 6x Mini-SAS HD (SFF-8644) ports
• Power supply: 1230W redundant (1+1) Platinum level
• Cooling: 5x 80mm hot-swap PWM fans
• Chassis material: Heavy-duty steel, black finish
• Operating environment: 10°C to 35°C, 8% to 90% non-condensing humidity

Why choose it

The dual-path backplane delivers redundancy and high throughput, while the Platinum power supplies keep energy costs in check. Tool-less drive trays and hot-swap fans simplify maintenance, and the all-steel chassis is built for 24/7 operation.

Ideal use cases

• High-capacity storage expansion for servers and SANs
• Backup and archival systems requiring dense drive counts
• Virtualized environments needing shared storage pools
• Media and surveillance storage with high write loads

Good to know

This enclosure requires an external HBA or RAID controller—it does not include one. All 44 bays are accessible without opening the chassis.
