👎 Cons
- 16GB of RAM is modest for a server of this class and will likely need upgrading for most production workloads
- Single-processor configuration limits compute density compared to dual-socket DL380 G9 builds
- 146GB individual drive capacity is small by current standards, limiting total raw storage to about 2.3TB
- As a Gen9 platform, it lacks support for newer DDR4 speeds and NVMe drive standards available in current-generation servers
- Renewed condition means warranty coverage is typically limited compared to new enterprise purchases
Frequently Asked Questions
How much storage does this DL380 G9 configuration include?
It comes with 16 HP 146GB 15K RPM SAS drives installed across all 16 hot-plug 2.5" bays, providing approximately 2.3TB of raw storage. The 15K RPM speed delivers fast I/O for transactional workloads.
What RAID options are available with the included controller?
The HP Smart Array P440 controller with 4GB flash-backed write cache supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50, and 60. The 4GB FBWC protects in-flight write data during unexpected power loss.
Why does this server have two power supplies?
The dual 500W redundant power supplies provide failover protection — if one supply fails, the other keeps the server running without interruption. This is a standard enterprise feature for maintaining uptime in production environments.
What does "Renewed" mean for a server like this?
The server has been professionally inspected, tested, and restored to full working order. Components are verified functional, firmware is typically updated, and the unit is cleaned. It may show rack-mount wear but performs to original specifications.
What type of processor is installed?
It includes an Intel Xeon E5-2630 v3, an eight-core Haswell-EP processor running at 2.4 GHz with hyper-threading support for 16 threads total.
