HP ProLiant DL160 G9 1U Rack Server 2× Xeon E5-2650 v3 10C 2.3GHz 16GB DDR4 2× 500GB SATA

HP ProLiant DL160 G9 1U Rack Server

The HP ProLiant DL160 G9 is a 1U rack server built for dense compute environments. It ships with two Intel Xeon E5-2650 v3 processors, each providing ten cores at 2.3 GHz, and 16 GB of DDR4 memory across 16 DIMM slots. The chassis includes eight 2.5-inch drive bays populated with two 500 GB SATA drives and a B140i software RAID controller supporting RAID 0, 1, and 5. Redundant hot-swap 550 W power supplies are fitted as standard.

Suits buyers who need dual-socket capacity in a 1U

This server fits workloads that benefit from 20 physical cores and 40 threads within a single rack unit. The B140i controller only manages SATA drives, so arrays requiring hardware RAID or SAS connectivity must look elsewhere. Buyers who want more storage than two 500 GB drives provide will need to populate the remaining six bays themselves. No operating system is included, so software licensing is a separate step.

B140i software RAID limited to SATA drives

The onboard B140i controller handles RAID 0, 1, and 5 exclusively for SATA devices. SAS drives are not supported on this controller, which determines which drive types can be used for boot or data volumes.

Memory expandable to 1 TB across 16 DDR4 slots

The platform supports up to 1 TB of DDR4 ECC registered memory using all 16 slots, with speeds up to 2400 MT/s depending on the installed processors. Current configuration uses 16 GB, leaving significant headroom for memory-intensive applications.
