HP ProLiant DL160 Gen9 1U rack server E5-2623 v3 32GB 2×1TB SAS H240

Built for dense compute

The HP ProLiant DL160 Gen9 is a 1U rack server designed for environments that need balanced processing and storage in minimal space. It suits IT teams running virtualisation hosts, database nodes or cloud workloads where core density and drive count matter more than GPU acceleration. The single-socket configuration keeps licensing costs lower while still supporting a second processor when demand grows.

Memory ceiling fixed at 32 GB

This unit ships with 32 GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory and the specification lists the maximum capacity as 32 GB across 16 DIMM slots. That limit is set by the installed Xeon E5-2623 v3 processor, so additional modules cannot increase usable RAM. Buyers who need more memory per socket must choose a different CPU or platform.

Steady throughput over burst speed

Dual 1 TB 7.2K SAS drives and the Smart HBA H240 controller deliver consistent 6 Gbps bandwidth for sustained read and write streams rather than peak IOPS. The 550 W redundant hot-swap power supplies maintain operation during extended loads without thermal throttling. Workloads that demand high sustained disk throughput will benefit more than those relying on short random-access bursts.
