HPE ProLiant ML30 Gen10 Plus tower server Xeon E-2314 2.8GHz 32GB 16TB SSD

Small-business tower server

The HPE ProLiant ML30 Gen10 Plus is a tower server built for small businesses and remote offices. It ships with a Xeon E-2314 4-core processor running at 2.8 GHz with a turbo frequency up to 4.5 GHz. The system includes 32 GB of DDR4 memory configured as two 16 GB modules at 3200 MHz. It arrives new and requires installation of the included drives and memory.

SATA storage ceiling

Storage is provided by four 4 TB SATA III SSDs operating at 6 Gb/s, delivering 16 TB of total capacity. The SATA interface limits peak throughput compared with faster protocols, so sustained heavy random writes will hit the bus ceiling. The Smart Array VROC controller manages the array, and an M.2 slot is available for additional devices. Expansion relies on four PCIe slots for added controllers or networking.

Memory and storage headroom

The 32 GB DDR4 configuration handles typical file, print and light virtualisation workloads with comfortable headroom. Memory-intensive databases or dense virtualisation clusters will exhaust the installed capacity and the two occupied slots. The 16 TB SSD array accommodates growing file repositories and backups, though capacity-bound workloads will eventually require the PCIe slots for additional storage controllers.
