Enterprise Proliant DL380 G9 Server | 2X E5-2660v3 20 Cores | 192GB | P440 | 8X 600GB (Renewed)

I have to say that I was really impressed with the server. It was delivered all the way to me in California in about 4 days, so it basically arrived 3 days earlier than expected.The server itself is in very good condition. I opened it up, to inspect the components and to make sure nothing came loose during shipping.The server came to me with slightly better processors than advertised (E5-2670v3 vice E5-2660v3), so I got 8 more cores overall.The 192GB of RAM was installed in 6 banks of 32GB, which allows for a great amount of expansion, should I need it.The server also included the front USB/Video Connection and DVD drive, which I was not expecting. It was truly a nice touch.I installed a micro-SD card and installed VMWare ESXi 7.0.3 on the SD card, leaving approximately 4TB of disk storage on the RAID-5 array I created (There was an array when I purchased, but as a matter of habit, I blew it away and started from scratch).

This server is great and works as expected. Well made, large capacity memory. You have fully functional and you can remotely control everything thing about it.

My server also arrived early and was exactly as described. I bought it for a home lab to replace various aging computers (NUCs, RPIs etc) around my house and it does not disappoint. No missing components or anything, although I didn't get the surprise processor upgrades some have mentioned.Two things I wished I knew before purchasing.1, it will run proxmox without any crazy modifications. No need to compile any code or anything, just make 8 raid zero drives if you want to take advantage of ZFS2, components do come loose during shipping sometimes. I spent two days trying to get it to boot normally before discovering one of the processors heat sinks wasn't securely attached. Check your system when you get it.The seller has been fantastic to me.All in all a great buy I would recommend to anyone.

Came in great condition, clean, no dust, no issues. Actually a bit better CPU than advertised!Started up no failures or issues showing healthy! VERY much impressed with the state of this server. Obviously, no iLO license or similar, but for a homelab kinda thing, it's in great shape at an amazing price! PLUS fast shipping, lots of protection in the package. IF anything that's probably my one complaint is that the box was fairly... dinged up and could have used a stiffer box with more protection, but at the price, I can't complain TOO Much as long as it runs/works without failures.

The packaging was well done and arrived in good condition. As expected, the server's external surface shows signs of usage, with no major dents or scratches, and the access panel opens freely. Internal components are as advertised, and it booted without issues and has been running solid for the last week.

I purchased this DL380G9 for a home lab server because it had very good specs and (8) 600GB hard disks. The unit itself arrived in good condition and is a great addition to my home lab environment letting me move my virtualization host off desktops to a server grade machine. There were only two issues with the unit. The first was the air dam for the fans was missing which wasn't a huge deal as I'm not putting a heavy load on the system and cooling doesn't seem to be a problem. The second issue was failed hard drives. Within the first 6 weeks I had two hard drive failures which the vendor promptly replaced but the second replacement arrived DOA and the vendor did not replace and quit responding to my emails. I was forced to buy additional disks from another vendor. I was able to purchase this server at a good price so it wasn't too bad for a refurb just be warned you may have to buy additional parts. I only wish the vendor had continued to communicate with me.

Everything works as it should. No problems. Delivery was a day earlier than stated. Best value for the buck I have ever purchsed with respect to a server. Have had 6 Sun Servers, 4 other HP servers, 2 of which are DL 380 v6 and this one is by far the best value for the money. If I wasn't retired, I'd probably consider another one or two. Was an Oracle DBA for more than 25 years and had an obsession with buying servers to play with Oracle on.

I used a lot of gen 9 servers , hpe servers are ok the issues are servers comes with missing parts . I bought 2 of this server and both servers are missing parts You have to spend another few hundreds to get missing parts .
