16-bay 2U rack server for virtualisation clusters

This HP ProLiant DL380 Gen9 fits 16 SFF drive bays into a 2U chassis and ships with dual Xeon E5-2643 v3 processors at 3.4 GHz plus 96 GB of DDR4 memory. The Smart Array P440 controller with 4 GB FBWC handles RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 across the installed bays. It targets organisations consolidating workloads onto a dense, redundant platform.

SAS 12 Gb/s interface limits drive throughput

The P440 controller operates at 12 Gb/s and 6 Gb/s SAS speeds, so each drive bay shares that aggregate bandwidth. With 16 bays populated the per-drive throughput drops as the controller splits the link across all active devices. The Matrox G200eH2 GPU provides only 16 MB of video memory, restricting graphical output to basic console management.

Verify rack depth, power feeds and OS licensing

The 2U form factor needs a rack deep enough for the chassis plus cable bend radius at the rear. Dual 500 W redundant supplies require two independent PDU circuits for full resilience. No operating system is included, so confirm hypervisor or OS licensing before deployment. Memory is already at the 96 GB installed maximum for this configuration.

Questions about this item

Should I pick the 16-bay SFF model or the 8-bay LFF variant?

The 16-bay SFF version fits 2.5-inch drives and holds up to 16 drives, while the LFF variant takes 3.5-inch drives in fewer bays. Choose SFF for higher drive count and density; choose LFF if you need larger capacity per drive.

What does the 3.4 GHz clock speed deliver in a live workload?

Each E5-2643 v3 runs six cores at 3.4 GHz, giving 12 physical cores and 24 threads total. The high base frequency benefits single-threaded applications and database licensing models that count cores.

How does the P440 12 Gb/s SAS link limit real throughput?

The Smart Array P440 presents a 12 Gb/s SAS interface per port. With 16 SFF bays, aggregate bandwidth is shared across all drives, so sustained throughput per drive drops when many disks are active simultaneously.
