HP ProLiant DL385 Gen10 rack server 2× EPYC 7302 16-core 3.0 GHz 256 GB 7.68 TB SSD RAID rail kit

Dual-socket EPYC 7302 server

The HP ProLiant DL385 Gen10 is a 2U rack server fitted with two 16-core EPYC 7302 processors running at 3.0 GHz with a 3.3 GHz boost. It arrives populated with 256 GB of DDR4 registered memory across eight 32 GB modules and 7.68 TB of SATA solid-state storage on four 1.92 TB drives. A Smart Array P408i-a controller with 2 GB flash-backed cache manages the RAID array and the bundle includes redundant 800 W power supplies plus a rail kit for rack mounting. Hard drives and memory are shipped separately and require installation.

Suits virtualisation and database workloads

This configuration targets environments that need high core counts and large memory capacity, such as virtualisation clusters, in-memory databases or heavy application hosting. The eight-bay 2.5-inch chassis and dual-socket design support dense compute in a standard rack footprint. Buyers who need more storage bays, GPU acceleration or a different processor family should evaluate alternative platforms. The server ships without an operating system so the software stack must be provisioned separately.

Smart Array P408i-a with 2 GB FBWC

The included RAID controller is an HP Smart Array P408i-a operating at 12 Gb/s with 2 GB of flash-backed write cache. It connects the four SATA SSDs and any additional drives in the eight-bay backplane, providing hardware RAID levels and cache protection during power loss. This controller specification determines the RAID capabilities and maximum drive throughput for the storage subsystem.
