Product Identity

This HP ProLiant DL160 Gen9 is a 1U rack server system built for dense data-centre deployment. It ships with a single Intel Xeon E5-2623v3 quad-core processor running at 3 GHz, 4 GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory, and two 500 GB 7.2K 2.5-inch SATA enterprise drives managed by the B140i software RAID controller supporting RAID 0, 1, and 5. Redundant hot-swap 550 W power supplies are included. The chassis provides eight SFF drive bays and sixteen DIMM slots for future expansion.

Suitability

This server suits organisations that need a compact, rack-optimised platform for entry-level virtualisation, file and print services, or lightweight application hosting where software RAID on SATA is acceptable. Buyers who require hardware RAID acceleration, SAS drive connectivity, or support for persistent memory modules should evaluate alternative configurations. The single-socket layout and modest default memory also mean that workloads demanding high core counts or large in-memory datasets will need additional processors and DIMMs before deployment.

Decisive Specification

The B140i controller provides software RAID for SATA drives only; it does not support SAS or hardware RAID functions. If your storage plan depends on SAS drives, hardware RAID levels beyond 0, 1, 5, or a dedicated RAID processor, this server will not meet that requirement without adding a compatible controller card.

Questions about this item

Does the server ship with drive trays for the two 500 GB SATA drives or must they be ordered separately?

The two installed 500 GB 7.2K 6Gbps 2.5" enterprise SATA drives include their trays; the remaining six SFF bays are empty and trays for additional drives are not included.

Should I select the single E5-2623v3 configuration or add a second processor for my workload?

The single E5-2623v3 provides four cores at 3 GHz with hyper-threading for eight threads; adding a second identical processor doubles core count to eight and enables the full 16 DIMM slots for up to 1 TB of DDR4.

What usable capacity does RAID 1 give me with the two 500 GB drives on the B140i controller?

RAID 1 on the B140i mirrors the two 500 GB SATA drives, yielding 500 GB of protected storage; RAID 0 would combine them for 1 TB without redundancy.
