HP ProLiant DL380 Gen9 12-bay LFF Xeon E5-2643 v3 3.4GHz 16GB 2x 300GB SAS H240ar

2U Rack Server with 12 LFF Bays

The HP ProLiant DL380 Gen9 is a 2U rack-mount server system built for data-centre workloads. It ships with a single Intel Xeon E5-2643 v3 six-core processor running at 3.4 GHz and 16 GB of DDR4 memory. Two 300 GB 15K SAS drives and an H240ar controller provide the storage foundation. Redundant 500 W power supplies support continuous operation.

Suits SAS-Based Workloads; Not for All-Flash Density

This server suits teams that need 3.5-inch SAS drive capacity and hardware RAID levels 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60. The 12 front LFF bays accept additional SAS or SATA drives, and a rear cage option adds more bays. Buyers who need higher drive-count density in a 2U chassis or who require an operating system pre-installed should consider other configurations.

300 GB 15K SAS Drives Set the Performance Baseline

The installed 300 GB 15 000 rpm SAS drives determine the baseline I/O speed and capacity for this unit. The H240ar controller supports 12 Gb/s SAS and 6 Gb/s SATA, so any added drives will operate at those interface rates. Memory expansion uses 24 DDR4 DIMM slots with a maximum of 16 GB per module, but the single processor limits total memory to the installed 16 GB unless a second CPU is added.
