The Supermicro 1124US-TNRP is a 1U server that leverages the new AMD EPYC 7003 processors. The server is part of Supermicro’s A+ Ultra family. If the name and the picture below are causing déjà vu, it is because we already review the near-identical Supermicro 1024US-TRT Server. The previous review was also looking at a newer version of a Supermicro AMD EPYC server in the 1023-TR4. Let’s go further into Supermicro inception with the Supermicro 1124US-TNRP.
Supermicro 1124US vs. 1024UT
First off there are a lot of similarities here. Both servers use the third generation AMD EYPC processors, both have 32 DIMM slots for up to 8TB of ECC DDR4 3200MHz of SDRAM, and both feature three PCIe Gen4 expansion slots. One of the main gripes we had with the previous server was the lack of dense NVMe storage.
On the one hand, the 1024UT had four 3.5″ bays for up to 64TB of HDD capacity. These bays supported SATA, SAS, and NVMe but if you wanted to leverage the latter, the fastest, you were limited to just the four bays. In the 1124US, you only have 2.5″ bays but that is ok as you have 12 of them, which means a lot more NVMe storage is possible.
The 1124US is 1U but supports 280W TDP. Meaning you can leverage two 64-core AMD EPYC CPUs if you so choose to do so. The rear I/O of the Supermicro 1124US is similar to the 1024UT as well dual 10GBase-T and two 10G SFP+ and support for three x16 PCIe expansion slots.
