HP ProLiant DL160 Gen9 1U rack server E5-2623v3 16GB 8x 146GB SAS H240

Balanced 1U rack server

The HP ProLiant DL160 Gen9 is a 1U rack server built for general-purpose workloads. It ships with a single Intel Xeon E5-2623v3 quad-core processor running at 3 GHz and 16 GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory. Eight 146 GB 15 K SAS drives and an H240 Smart HBA provide internal storage and RAID 0, 1, or 5 capability. Redundant hot-swap 550 W power supplies support continuous operation.

Fits dense compute, not massive memory

This configuration suits buyers who need a compact server for virtualisation, web hosting, or file serving with fast 15 K SAS drives. It is not for buyers who need more than 16 GB of memory from the start, because the installed DIMMs already fill the baseline capacity and the single processor limits active slots to eight. Organisations requiring dual processors, GPU acceleration, or media bays should evaluate larger platforms.

Eight 2.5-inch SAS bays define storage scope

The chassis provides exactly eight SFF drive bays populated with 146 GB 15 K SAS drives. The H240 controller supports SAS and SATA at 12 Gb/s and 6 Gb/s respectively, but only the eight internal bays are available unless an optional universal media bay or two-drive cage is added. Buyers who need more than eight drives must look for a server with additional bay options.
