HPE ProLiant DL360 Gen10+ 8-Bay 2.5" Drives
The HPE ProLiant DL360 Gen10+ is the current-generation 1U platform — the Ice Lake Xeon equivalent of the DL360 Gen10, with PCIe Gen4, 32 DIMM slots, vSAN ESA support, and extended lifecycle. For HPE shops standardizing on Gen10+ infrastructure or requiring vSAN ESA in a 1U chassis, this is the platform.
For full Gen10+ platform details (what changes from Gen10 — Ice Lake, PCIe Gen4, 32 DIMM slots, vSAN ESA) see the DL380 Gen10+ 8-Bay page. For 1U vs. 2U decision guidance see the DL360 Gen10 8-Bay page. Everything there applies to the Gen10+ equivalent with the Gen10+ compute and storage platform advantages.
Storage — 8 SFF Bays with Gen4 NVMe
Eight 2.5" hot-swap bays with PCIe Gen4 NVMe backplane support — native Gen4 NVMe in a 1U chassis. For vSAN ESA 1U nodes, Kubernetes persistent volume backends with Gen4 NVMe latency, and edge deployments where 1U form factor and current-generation NVMe are both requirements, the DL360 Gen10+ 8-Bay is the platform.
Smart Array E208i-a (HBA mode) for vSAN ESA. Smart Array P408i-o (2 GB FBWC) for hardware RAID SAS/SATA configurations.
Gen10+ vs. Gen10 DL360 — When the Premium Is Justified
Same calculus as DL380 Gen10+ vs. Gen10: lifecycle extending past 2028, vSAN ESA target, Gen4 NVMe requirement, or Ice Lake core count advantage over Cascade Lake. For compute-primary deployments without those specific requirements, the DL360 Gen10 delivers equivalent performance at lower cost. We'll quote both.
Our Assessment
The DL360 Gen10+ 8-Bay is the right platform for vSAN ESA 1U nodes, Gen4 NVMe in a 1U chassis, and HPE shops building infrastructure with 5+ year lifespans. For everything else in 1U, the DL360 Gen10 is cost-effective and proven.
Navigation: Gen10 equivalent → DL360 Gen10 8-Bay. Gen10+ 10-Bay → DL360 Gen10+ 10-Bay. 2U Gen10+ → DL380 Gen10+ 8-Bay.
Workload Fit
| Gen10+ 1U is justified for | Gen10 1U is sufficient for |
|---|---|
| ✅ vSAN ESA 1U nodes | ✓ vSAN OSA on vSphere 7.x |
| ✅ Gen4 NVMe in 1U form factor | ✓ SAS/SATA storage |
| ✅ Lifecycle 5+ years + Gen10+ standardization | ✓ 2–4 year lifecycle |
