Gigabyte R181-2A0 Review A Mainstream Dual Xeon Server
The Gigabyte R181-2A0 is perhaps that simple in its concept. This is a mainstream 1U dual-socket first and second-generation Intel Xeon Scalable processor server. When we look to the R181-2A0 we see the company’s offering for high-levels of 1U expandability with a standard 10-bay 2.5″ storage array in front.

GIGABYTE R181-2A0 Review
The GIGABYTE R181-2A0 is a 1U server built around the second generation Intel Xeon Scalable processors. The second gen Xeon CPUs bring their set of benefits to the server that contain the usual suspects of Optane DC Memory support, higher CPU frequencies and the performance that can come with that, faster DDR4 speed, and Intel Deep Learning Boost. The server is super flexible and is aimed toward an application connected to shared storage, or perhaps HPC use cases.
