The maximum number of drives that can be installed on a HPE ProLiant DL380 Gen10 SFF model is 30 Small Form Factor (SFF) drives.
Understanding HPE ProLiant DL380 Gen10 Drive Configurations
The HPE ProLiant DL380 Gen10 server is engineered with a highly adaptable chassis, designed to accommodate a wide range of storage requirements through its innovative modular drive bay configuration options. This flexibility allows businesses to optimize for density, performance, or a balance of both, depending on their specific workload needs.
For environments requiring high storage density within a compact footprint, the Small Form Factor (SFF) configuration is ideal. SFF drives are physically smaller, enabling the server to house a greater number of individual drives compared to their larger counterparts.
Drive Capacity Overview
The server's design supports various drive types and maximum quantities, showcasing its versatility:
| Drive Type | Maximum Quantity | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Small Form Factor (SFF) | 30 | Ideal for high-density storage, typically 2.5-inch drives. |
| Large Form Factor (LFF) | 19 | Suitable for higher capacity individual drives, typically 3.5-inch drives. |
| NVMe | 20 | For high-performance, low-latency storage using Non-Volatile Memory Express. |
This modular approach ensures that the HPE ProLiant DL380 Gen10 can be precisely configured to meet diverse application demands, from virtualization and databases to high-performance computing. The ability to support up to 30 SFF drives makes it a powerful choice for organizations prioritizing massive storage capacity in a space-efficient 2U rack server.
