HPE DL380 Gen9 8SFF 1x Xeon E5-2660v4 256GB DDR4 No Drive Rack Server

HPE DL380 Gen9 8SFF Server

The HPE ProLiant DL380 Gen9 is a 2U rack server built for virtualisation and database workloads. It ships with one Intel Xeon E5-2660v4 processor and 256GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory. The chassis supports up to eight 2.5-inch drive bays and includes a Smart Array P440 SAS controller. Dual 500W Flex Slot power supplies provide redundancy.

Virtualisation hosts needing dense memory

This configuration suits teams consolidating many virtual machines onto a single node thanks to the 256GB DDR4 capacity and 14-core CPU. Buyers who want more storage should note that no drives are installed and the eight bays must be populated separately. Organisations requiring dual-socket performance out of the box will need to add a second processor.

256GB DDR4 with room to 3TB

The installed 256GB handles medium-sized databases and hypervisor memory pools comfortably. Maximum supported capacity reaches 3TB when all DIMM slots are filled with larger modules. The P440 controller manages SAS and SATA drives across the eight bays, but raw capacity is limited by the drives you choose to add.
