HP ProLiant DL380 Gen9 2U Rack Server

The HP ProLiant DL380 Gen9 is a 2U rack server built for data-centre workloads. It ships with a single Intel Xeon E5-2643v3 six-core processor running at 3.4GHz and 32GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory across 24 DIMM slots.

Suits compute-dense tasks needing fast SAS storage

This configuration suits buyers who need high-frequency cores and 15K SAS drives for database or virtualisation workloads. It is not for buyers who want more storage capacity than eight 146GB drives provide, nor for builders who require a second processor or NVME bays that are not populated.

Single Xeon E5-2643v3 at 3.4GHz

The decisive specification is the single six-core Xeon E5-2643v3 at 3.4GHz paired with eight 146GB 15K 6Gbps SAS drives on the H240ar controller. This combination fixes both the compute thread count and the raw storage ceiling for the chassis as delivered.

Questions about this item

Should I pick the 32 GB DDR4 configuration or add more memory later?

The system ships with 32 GB DDR4 across 24 DIMM slots and supports up to 3 TB total, so you can start with the installed capacity and expand as workloads grow.

What does the 3.4 GHz six-core Xeon E5-2643v3 deliver in daily workloads?

Six physical cores at 3.4 GHz with Hyper-Threading provide 12 logical threads, giving strong single-thread speed and enough parallelism for virtualization, databases and compute tasks.

How does the H240ar controller's 12 Gb SAS / 6 Gb SATA interface limit drive performance?

The controller caps SAS drives at 12 Gb/s and SATA drives at 6 Gb/s; the installed 146 GB 15 K SAS drives run at 6 Gb/s, so the backplane bandwidth is not a bottleneck for this array.
