50-Bay Storage Server Barebone
The GIGABYTE S472-Z30 is a 4U rackmount barebone designed for storage-heavy workloads. It supports a single AMD EPYC 7003 or 7002 series processor in an SP3 socket and provides sixteen DDR4-3200 memory slots across eight channels. Two 1600W 80 PLUS Platinum power supplies deliver redundant power. The chassis fits up to fifty hot-swap drives across 3.5-inch and 2.5-inch bays with SATA, SAS and NVMe support.
Suited For High-Density Storage.
This platform suits builders who need maximum drive count in a single-socket 4U form factor. It is not for buyers who require dual-processor scaling, additional PCIe expansion beyond the provided NVMe HBA slots, or integrated networking beyond 1 Gigabit Ethernet. The Aspeed AST2500 provides basic display output only, so GPU compute workloads are not supported.
Single Socket SP3 With One Processor Limit
The board accepts exactly one AMD EPYC processor in the SP3 socket, capping the system at sixty-four cores and 128 PCIe 4.0 lanes from that single CPU. Memory capacity reaches four terabytes across the sixteen DIMM slots. All fifty drive bays and both M.2 slots share the CPU's lane budget, so storage density is the defining constraint.

Questions about this item
Should I choose the 24-bay 3.5-inch side configuration or the 24-bay 2.5-inch front configuration for maximum capacity?
The chassis provides 50 hot-swap bays total: 24 x 3.5-inch SATA/SAS bays on the sides and 26 x 2.5-inch bays at the front (12 SATA/SAS plus 4 hybrid plus 8 NVMe/SATA/SAS and 2 M.2 slots).
What does the 128 PCIe 4.0 lanes figure mean once the server is built?
A single AMD EPYC 7003 processor delivers up to 128 PCIe 4.0 lanes, feeding the 4 x Gen4 NVMe HBA cards in slots 4 and 6, the x16 slot 5 at x8, the 2 x M.2 PCIe 4.0 x4 slots and the Aspeed AST2500 BMC.
Which interface standard caps the 2.5-inch front bays in practice?
The front bays support SATA, SAS and NVMe; the 4 hybrid bays and 8 NVMe/SATA/SAS bays run at PCIe 4.0 x4 per drive, while the 12 standard 2.5-inch bays are limited to SATA/SAS speeds.
