The ST50 V2offers numerous features to boost performance, improve scalability, and reduce costs:
Improved single-socket processor performance:
Intel Xeon E-2300 Series processors ("Rocket Lake-E") up to to 8 cores and core speeds up to 3.7 GHz
Intel Pentium G6405, G6505 and G6605 processors ("Comet Lake Refresh") with 2 cores and core speeds up to 4.3 GHz
Up to four 3200 MHz DDR4 ECC UDIMMs provide speed and capacity of up to 128 GB
Three PCIe slots for I/O expansion, one of which has the new PCIe Gen4 interface to maximize I/O performance.
Support for a NVMe M.2 drive for OS boot operations
Up to three non-hot-swap (NHS) drive bays, two 3.5-inch and one 2.5-inch, supporting hard disk drives (HDDs) or solid-state drives (SSDs) provide flexible internal storage capacity.
The use of SSDs instead of, or along with, traditional spinning drives (HDDs) can significantly improve I/O performance.
