HPE DL380 Gen9 4LFF rack server 2x Xeon E5-2698v3 384GB DDR4

HPE DL380 Gen9 4LFF dual Xeon server

This HPE ProLiant DL380 Gen9 rack server ships with two Xeon E5-2698 v3 processors running at 2.3 GHz and 384 GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory. The 4LFF chassis provides four 3.5-inch drive bays and includes an HPE Smart Array P440 SAS controller with 4 GB flash-backed write cache. Remote management is handled by HPE iLO Advanced.

Ideal for memory-heavy workloads

The dual 16-core CPUs and 384 GB RAM suit virtualisation hosts, database nodes or compute clusters that need high core counts and large memory capacity. The four-bay LFF layout fits organisations standardising on 3.5-inch SAS or SATA drives. Buyers who need more than four internal drive bays or direct-attached PCIe storage backplanes should evaluate other platforms.

Four 3.5-inch bays with P440 RAID controller

The single specification that decides fit is the 4LFF chassis combined with the P440 controller: it supports up to four 3.5-inch SAS or SATA drives in hardware RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 or 60. If your deployment requires more internal bays, 2.5-inch density or a different RAID engine, this server will not match the requirement.
