The Dell PowerEdge R360 (Order Code: 210-BJTR) is a modern 1U rack server powered by the Intel Xeon E-2400 series. Your custom configuration with 4 x 16TB HDDs maxes out the internal storage capacity of the 3.5-inch chassis, making it an excellent high-density storage node for small-to-mid-sized businesses.
Storage Potential & RAID Options
With four 16TB drives, your usable space will depend heavily on your RAID choice. Given the size of these drives, RAID 6 or RAID 10 is highly recommended to protect against data loss during long rebuild times.
RAID 5 (3+1): ~48TB usable. Risky with 16TB drives due to potential second drive failure during a long rebuild.
RAID 6 (2+2): ~32TB usable. Safest option; allows for two simultaneous drive failures.
RAID 10 (2×2): ~32TB usable. Best performance and fastest rebuilds, but 50% storage “tax.”
