HP ProLiant DL360 Gen9 1U rack server E5-2640v3 8C 2.6GHz 8GB DDR4 2x 500GB SATA B140i

What this server is

The HP ProLiant DL360 Gen9 is a 1U rack system built around a single Intel Xeon E5-2640v3 eight-core processor running at 2.6GHz. It ships with 8GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory and two 500GB 7.2K SATA drives managed by the onboard B140i software RAID controller. Dual 500W redundant hot-swap power supplies are included, and the chassis provides eight 2.5-inch SFF drive bays for future expansion.

Who it suits and who it does not

This platform suits buyers who need a dense, single-socket rack server with redundant power and software RAID for SATA drives. The memory subsystem tops out at 8GB across 24 DIMM slots, so workloads requiring larger memory footprints cannot be satisfied without adding a second processor and additional modules. Buyers who need hardware RAID with battery-backed cache or who require SAS drive support from the integrated controller should look at a different platform.

The specification that decides fit

The B140i controller only supports RAID 0, 1, 5 and 10 on SATA devices, so the integrated storage path is the single factor that determines whether this server matches the deployment requirement.
