Server profile

The HP ProLiant DL380 Gen9 is a 2U rack server built for data-centre workloads that demand dual-processor performance. It ships with two Xeon E5-2643 v3 CPUs, each running at 3.4GHz with six cores, giving 12 physical cores and 24 threads for virtualised or compute-heavy tasks.

Memory and expansion limits

The system uses DDR4 ECC registered memory across 24 DIMM slots, 12 per processor, with a factory ceiling of 32GB installed. Although the platform specification cites a 3TB maximum, the supplied configuration reaches the 32GB ceiling, so further growth requires replacing modules rather than adding to empty slots.

Storage capacity and headroom

Two 600GB 15K 2.5-inch SAS drives connect through the H240ar controller, which supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60. The 8-bay SFF chassis can accept additional SAS or SATA drives, and optional NVME bays exist, but the current two-drive set leaves limited raw capacity for write-intensive databases or large VM clusters.

Questions about this item

Should I pick the 600 GB 15K SAS drives or add more bays for capacity?

The server ships with two 600 GB 15K 6 Gbps 2.5-inch SAS drives. The chassis has 8 SFF bays; you can expand to 16 or 24 SFF bays using the optional bay 2 and 3 kits.

What does the 3.4 GHz clock speed deliver with two E5-2643 v3 CPUs?

Each Xeon E5-2643 v3 has six cores at 3.4 GHz with Hyper-Threading, giving 24 logical threads total for multi-threaded workloads.

How fast can the H240ar controller run SAS and SATA drives?

The Smart HBA H240ar supports 12 Gbps SAS and 6 Gbps SATA, so 12 Gbps SAS drives will run at full speed while SATA drives are capped at 6 Gbps.
