HPE ProLiant DL380 Gen9 4LFF 2x Xeon E5-2650L v4 1.7 GHz 384GB DDR4 No Drive Rack Server

HPE ProLiant DL380 Gen9 4LFF Server

The HPE ProLiant DL380 Gen9 is a 2U rack-mount server system built for virtualization, database, and general-purpose workloads. It ships with two Intel Xeon E5-2650L v4 processors running at 1.7 GHz, each providing 14 cores and 35 MB cache. The chassis includes 384 GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory and an HPE Smart Array P440 SAS controller with 4 GB cache. No drives are installed, allowing buyers to populate up to four 3.5-inch SATA bays.

Suited for memory-heavy tasks.

This configuration suits buyers who need high core counts and large memory capacity in a standard rack footprint. The dual 14-core CPUs and 384 GB DDR4 handle heavy virtualization or in-memory databases. The four-bay LFF chassis limits internal drive count, so buyers who require more than four internal drives must look at a different platform. Workloads needing GPU acceleration are not supported by the integrated graphics.

Four-bay LFF chassis with P440 controller

The single specification that decides fit is the 4LFF drive cage paired with the P440 SAS controller. It accepts up to four 3.5-inch SATA hard drives or SSDs in a hardware RAID array. Buyers needing greater internal bay density or a different controller interface should consider other chassis options.
