HP ProLiant DL380 Gen9 24-bay SFF E5-2609 v3 1.9GHz 48GB P440 4GB FBWC

2U Rack Server with 24 SFF Bays

The HP ProLiant DL380 Gen9 is a 2U rack server built for data-centre workloads that demand dense local storage. It ships with a single Intel Xeon E5-2609 v3 six-core processor running at 1.9GHz and 48GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory across 24 DIMM slots. Dual 500W redundant hot-swap power supplies and an embedded four-port 1Gb Ethernet adapter are included. The Smart Array P440 controller with 4GB flash-backed write cache supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 across twenty-four 2.5-inch drive bays.

Suits High-Density Storage Clusters

This configuration targets operators who need maximum drive-count in a 2U footprint for software-defined storage, backup targets or archival workloads. The single entry-level CPU and fixed 48GB memory limit fit light compute tasks but leave no headroom for memory-intensive databases or heavy virtualisation. Buyers who need more than one processor, larger memory capacity or GPU acceleration should evaluate other platforms.

24 Small-Form-Factor Drive Bays

The defining specification is the twenty-four 2.5-inch hot-swap bays backed by a 12Gb/6Gb SAS RAID controller with flash-backed cache. This bay count determines whether the chassis can hold the required dataset without external enclosures. If the storage plan calls for fewer drives or larger 3.5-inch media, a different chassis layout will be more appropriate.
