12 LFF drive bays for bulk storage

This 2U rack server provides twelve large-form-factor bays and a Smart HBA H240ar controller supporting SAS and SATA drives with RAID 0/1/5/6/10/50/60. It ships with a single Xeon E5-2643 v3 six-core processor at 3.4 GHz and 8 GB of DDR4 ECC memory across 24 DIMM slots. Dual 500 W redundant power supplies are included.

Teams needing dense 3.5-inch capacity

The chassis fits organisations that prioritise high-volume hard-disk storage over solid-state speed or GPU compute. The Matrox G200eH2 graphics with 16 MB video memory is intended for management console output only. Buyers who want all-flash arrays, GPU acceleration, or more than one CPU installed should look elsewhere.

Single CPU limits maximum memory to 3 TB

With one processor populated the server can address up to 3 TB of DDR4 across twelve active slots per CPU. Adding a second Xeon would unlock the remaining twelve slots and the full 3 TB ceiling, but that second processor is not included.

Questions about this item

Should I pick the 12 LFF version or a smaller drive cage for this DL380 Gen9?

The 12 LFF configuration gives you twelve 3.5-inch bays up front. If you need more density later, a rear cage can add three more LFF or two SFF bays, but that uses the second riser slot.

What does the 3.4 GHz Xeon E5-2643 v3 deliver inside this 2U rack server?

The six-core processor runs at 3.4 GHz with twelve threads via hyper-threading. Actual memory speed will depend on this CPU's capability, supporting DDR4 up to 2400 MT/s across 24 DIMM slots.

How does the H240ar controller's 12 Gb SAS and 6 Gb SATA interface limit real-world throughput?

The Smart HBA H240ar caps SAS drives at 12 Gb/s and SATA drives at 6 Gb/s. It supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 across the twelve installed drive bays.
