Overview
The Supermicro CSE-836BE1C-R1K03B is the current 3U 16-bay member of the SC836 storage chassis family — the workhorse form factor for cost-efficient high-capacity storage nodes, backup targets, surveillance recording servers and hybrid SSD/HDD tiering boxes.
A direct-attach SAS3 backplane carries 12 Gb/s to all sixteen hot-swap bays, and the 1000 W 1+1 redundant Platinum supply keeps the node up through a single PSU failure. The chassis accepts full E-ATX boards up to 13.68" × 13", so dual-socket Xeon Scalable and EPYC platforms fit without a riser compromise.
Key Benefits
16 hot-swap 3.5" bays in 3U for maximum capacity per rack unit; SES2 enclosure services for drive-fault LED and monitoring; 80 PLUS Platinum 1+1 redundant power; hot-swap middle fan wall for service without powering down the node.
Applications
Ideal for NAS and backup appliances, video surveillance recording, object-storage bricks, HPC scratch storage, and hybrid SAS3 SSD + HDD tiering nodes. Also used as a cost-effective chassis for cold-data archives and lab test rigs.
