The California-based firm is a major manufacturer and provider of Open-Source-based rackmount servers - specifically high-capacity and Petascale data storage servers for Network Attached Storage (NAS) as well as cloud-based applications, Virtualization, Containers, Kubernetes, Docker, Podman, and so forth.

In Addition, 26TB SMR (Shingled Magnetic Recording) drives are now available, bringing total raw storage to 1.872 Petabytes by custom quote.

Customers of eRacks Systems can order eRacks/NAS72 to be configured with up to 72 removable 22TB Western Digital Gold enterprise drives (other brands and models available), for a total capacity of 1584 Terabytes.

Lower capacity hard drives are available for reduced space requirements and future scalability. The chassis, eRacks/4U-72RHD, is 35 inches deep and holds 72 3.5-inch drives bays, stacked 2-deep in 36 removable bays.

Various configurations of Dual-Xeon, Dual-Epyc, or single-CPU solutions are available - we can even configure a single-CPU Ryzen config - With ECC! Which is amazingly powerful - This has been one of our highest-demand configs, lately.

eRacks/NAS72 starter configuration is partially populated with lower capacity hard drives, which offers more affordable pricing options to eRacks Systems customers, and a more accessible entry level.

"The 12-to-18-Terabyte drives are the 'Sweet spot' of $/TB as of mid-2023, yielding over a full Petabye of raw storage - The 22 Terabyte hard drives may be considerably more expensive than lower capacity drives. They may not be the 'sweet spot' of cost per Terabyte, but for those users who need every available Terabyte, these drives are certainly an option. Dream big! And we will provide you with storage for your dreams!"
