Pros & Cons
👍 Pros
- Dual E5-2698 V4 processors deliver 40 cores and 80 threads, among the highest core counts available on this platform
- 32TB of raw SAS storage across four enterprise 12Gb/s drives provides substantial data capacity
- HPE Smart Array P440 controller supports advanced RAID levels for data protection and performance tuning
- DL380 G9 platform offers extensive upgrade headroom for RAM, drives, and add-in cards
- Renewed pricing makes 40-core server hardware accessible at a fraction of original cost
👎 Cons
- 16GB of RAM is severely undersized for a 40-core server and will almost certainly require an immediate upgrade
- Only four 3.5-inch drive bays constrains future storage expansion within the chassis
- No operating system is included, adding to the total cost and setup time
- E5-2698 V4 processors are Broadwell-EP generation and lack support for newer features like AVX-512
- As a renewed unit, fan noise and component wear may be higher than with new equipment
Frequently Asked Questions
How does this server compare to the E5-2680 V4 version of the DL380 G9?
This configuration uses E5-2698 V4 processors with 20 cores each (40 total) versus the 14-core E5-2680 V4, providing significantly more multi-threaded performance, though it ships with less RAM at 16GB versus 128GB.
Is 16GB of RAM sufficient for server workloads?
For most enterprise applications, 16GB is a starting point that will likely need upgrading. The DL380 G9 supports up to 1.5TB of DDR4 ECC RAM, so expansion is straightforward.
What RAID configurations can I use with the included drives?
The HPE Smart Array P440 supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50, and 60. With four drives, common choices are RAID 5 (24TB usable with one drive of parity), RAID 6 (16TB usable with two drives of parity), or RAID 10 (16TB usable with mirroring).
Does this server come with an operating system?
No operating system is included. You will need to install your own server OS such as Windows Server, VMware ESXi, or a Linux distribution.
