Balanced 1U rack server

The HP ProLiant DL160 Gen9 packs a ten-core Xeon E5-2650 v3 at 2.3 GHz and 128 GB of DDR4 ECC memory into a single rack unit. Eight small-form-factor bays sit behind the front bezel, ready for SATA or SAS drives. It targets teams that need dense compute for virtualization, web hosting or batch jobs without spreading across multiple shelves.

Software RAID limits

The onboard B140i controller handles RAID 0, 1 and 5 but only on SATA devices; SAS drives connected to the same backplane will not be managed by this controller. With two 500 GB 7.2 K rpm SATA drives installed, usable capacity is capped at roughly 500 GB in a mirrored pair or 1 TB in a striped set. No hardware cache or battery-backed write-back is present, so sustained write throughput depends entirely on the drive spindle speed.

Redundant power and fixed GPU

Dual hot-swap 550 W supplies share the load and keep the box running if one unit fails. The Matrox G200 graphics chip drives only basic console output; it cannot accelerate any compute workload. Sixteen DIMM slots are fully populated at 128 GB, so any memory expansion requires replacing modules rather than adding them. Buyers who need hardware RAID, GPU compute or headroom for more memory should look elsewhere.

Questions about this item

Should I pick the single-processor model or add a second Xeon E5-2650 v3?

The chassis supports up to 36 total cores across two processors. One 10-core CPU is installed; a second E5-2650 v3 would double cores to 20 and unlock the remaining 8 DIMM slots.

What does the 128 GB DDR4 at 2400 MT/s deliver in this server?

All 16 DIMM slots are filled, giving the maximum memory capacity supported by the single E5-2650 v3. Actual speed depends on the processor's memory controller.

How does the B140i Software RAID limit drive choices?

The B140i controller handles SATA only and supports RAID 0, 1 and 5 across the eight 2.5-inch SFF bays at 6 Gbps link speed.
