HP ProLiant DL160 Gen9 1U rack server E5-2650 v3 10-core 2.3 GHz 4 GB DDR4 2×500 GB SATA B140i

HP ProLiant DL160 Gen9 1U rack server

This HP ProLiant DL160 Gen9 is a 1U rack server built for balanced compute density. It ships with a single Intel Xeon E5-2650 v3 10-core processor running at 2.3 GHz, 4 GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory, and two 500 GB 7.2K SATA drives. The B140i controller provides software RAID 0, 1, or 5 for SATA devices only. A redundant 550 W hot-swap power supply is included and no operating system is installed.

Suits single-socket workloads needing 8 SFF bays

This configuration fits buyers who need a compact 1U chassis with eight 2.5-inch SFF drive bays and a single ten-core Xeon processor. The B140i controller supports SATA RAID 0, 1, and 5, so it works for basic redundancy on the installed drives. Buyers who require hardware RAID with cache, SAS drive support, or a second processor for 20 physical cores should look elsewhere. The 4 GB memory limit on this specific unit also rules out memory-intensive applications without immediate upgrades.

B140i SATA-only RAID controller

The storage controller is the B140i software RAID engine, which handles SATA drives at RAID levels 0, 1, and 5. It does not support SAS drives, so the eight SFF bays can only be populated with SATA media when using this onboard controller. The server includes two 500 GB SATA drives configured for this controller. If your deployment needs SAS connectivity or hardware RAID acceleration, a different controller must be added.
