2U rack server with dual 1.8 TB SAS drives

This HP ProLiant DL380 G9 is a 2U rack server built around a single eight-core Xeon E5-2630 v3 running at 2.4 GHz. It ships with 8 GB of DDR4 memory and two 1.8 TB 7.2 K SAS drives managed by a Smart Array P440 controller with 4 GB FBWC. The chassis includes redundant hot-swap 500 W power supplies and 16 small-form-factor drive bays for dense storage workloads.

SAS 12 Gbps interface limits drive expansion to 16

The server uses 12 Gbps SAS connectivity through the P440 RAID controller, supporting RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60. Only the 16 installed SFF bays are available unless an optional second drive cage is added, and the single processor configuration restricts memory channels to 12 DIMM slots. Maximum installed memory is capped at 8 GB in this configuration, though the platform supports higher capacities with a second CPU.

Tool-less rail mounting eases rack installation

The 2U chassis slides into standard racks on tool-less rails, and hot-swap power supplies and drive trays can be replaced without shutting down. The single-processor layout means only 12 of the 24 DIMM slots are active, so memory upgrades must match the populated bank. Missing the second CPU also leaves half the PCIe lanes and memory bandwidth unused, which limits virtualization density.

Questions about this item

Should I pick the single-processor configuration or add a second Xeon E5-2630 v3 for my workload?

The chassis supports up to two processors and 24 DIMM slots total; adding the second CPU doubles core count to 16 physical cores and unlocks the remaining 12 memory slots for up to 3 TB of DDR4.

What does the 2.4 GHz clock on the E5-2630 v3 deliver in actual use?

Eight cores at 2.4 GHz with Hyper-Threading provide 16 threads for parallel tasks such as virtualization, databases, or batch processing, and the P440 controller with 4 GB FBWC accelerates write-heavy workloads.

How does the 12 Gbps SAS interface on the P440 controller limit real-world drive speed?

The 12 Gbps SAS link and 7.2 K rpm 1.8 TB drives set the sustained throughput ceiling; the P440's 4 GB flash-backed write cache absorbs bursts, but sequential reads will not exceed the drive's native transfer rate.
