Target workloads

This HP ProLiant DL160 Gen9 1U rack server ships with a single Intel Xeon E5-2623v3 quad-core processor at 3GHz and 128GB of DDR4 memory. It offers eight 2.5-inch SFF drive bays and redundant hot-swap 550W power supplies. The B140i controller provides software RAID levels 0, 1 and 5 for SATA drives only.

Fit and limits

The system suits buyers who need a dense 1U platform with high memory capacity and SATA storage redundancy. It does not suit buyers who need hardware RAID acceleration or support for non-SATA drive interfaces because the onboard controller is limited to SATA software RAID.

Deciding specification

The B140i software RAID controller accepts SATA drives only and supports RAID 0, 1 and 5. This single constraint determines whether the storage topology matches the buyer's requirements.

Questions about this item

Should I pick the single E5-2623v3 or add a second processor for this 128 GB configuration?

The server has 16 DIMM slots, 8 per CPU. With one E5-2623v3 installed, 128 GB fills all 8 slots on that processor. Adding a second CPU would require more modules to reach the 1 TB maximum.

What does the 3 GHz quad-core speed deliver in a live workload?

The E5-2623v3 runs four cores at 3 GHz with hyper-threading giving eight threads. DDR4 runs up to 2400 MT/s, so memory bandwidth matches the processor capability for compute tasks.

How does the B140i controller limit my drive choices?

The B140i provides software RAID 0, 1 and 5 for SATA drives only. The eight 2.5-inch bays accept SATA HDDs or SSDs; SAS drives are not supported on this controller.
