Our take on the HGST Ultrastar Serv24 NVMe Storage Server 38.4TB

The HGST Ultrastar Serv24 is a 2U rackmount all-flash storage server built for data centers. It pairs a dual-socket-capable Intel Xeon Gold 6140 (18 cores at 2.30 GHz) with 256 GB of DDR4 memory and 24 NVMe SSD bays, populated here with 38.4 TB of flash. Dual 1200W redundant power supplies, 10 Gigabit Ethernet and IPMI 2.0 remote management round out a platform aimed at high-throughput workloads. This is enterprise hardware sold through resellers and integrators, so pricing varies widely by configuration and condition.

Questions and answers

Is 38.4 TB enough, or should I fill all 24 bays?
38.4 TB across 24 drives works out to about 1.6 TB per drive, so the chassis is lightly populated. The platform supports up to 184 TB, so you can add larger NVMe drives later as prices fall.
How does this compare with a Synology or QNAP all-flash NAS?
This is a rack server with a Xeon Gold CPU, 256 GB of RAM and IPMI management, not a turnkey NAS appliance. It suits virtualization and storage clusters; a Synology or QNAP is easier to set up for small offices.
What is the power draw and noise level?
Two 1200W supplies are sized for a fully loaded chassis, so actual draw depends on drive count and load. Expect data-center noise levels; this belongs in a rack room, not an office.
Does it include drives and what is the warranty?
The listing shows 24 SSDs installed totaling 38.4 TB plus 2 boot drives. HGST backs it with a 5-year limited warranty; confirm the exact drive models and warranty transfer with the seller.
What networking and management does it have?
Two 10 Gigabit Ethernet RJ-45 ports and IPMI 2.0 remote management, plus three PCIe 3.0 slots for adding faster networking. There is no built-in 25G or 100G option.
