HPE ProLiant DL360 Gen10+ 10-Bay 2.5" Drives
The DL360 Gen10+ 10-Bay 2.5" is the maximum SFF density 1U configuration on the current-generation HPE platform — ten hot-swap bays with PCIe Gen4 NVMe support, Ice Lake Xeon, 32 DIMM slots, and vSAN ESA compatibility. Two additional bays over the DL360 Gen10+ 8-Bay for workloads where drive count per 1U node is a meaningful design variable.
For full Gen10+ platform details see the DL380 Gen10+ 8-Bay page. For 8-Bay vs. 10-Bay guidance see the DL360 Gen10+ 8-Bay page.
When the 10-Bay Earns Its Place in Gen10+
Same reasoning as the Gen10 10-Bay — the extra two bays matter when Ceph OSD count per 1U node (10 vs. 8 makes a meaningful cluster size difference at scale), vSAN drive group designs that need more drives per node, or any storage-first 1U deployment where 10 bays provides more flexibility than 8 without stepping to 2U.
At Gen10+ pricing levels, the cost delta between 8-Bay and 10-Bay is relatively small against the total configuration cost. When in doubt about future storage expansion at 1U, the 10-Bay provides flexibility the 8-Bay can't retrofit.
Storage — 10 SFF Bays with Gen4 NVMe
Ten 2.5" hot-swap bays with PCIe Gen4 NVMe backplane. Same drive flexibility as 8-Bay Gen10+: Gen4 NVMe SSDs for vSAN ESA, SAS/SATA for OSA or hardware RAID, or mixed configurations. Smart Array E208i-a (HBA mode) for vSAN ESA. Smart Array P408i-o (2 GB FBWC) for hardware RAID.
Our Assessment
The right choice when 10 Gen4 NVMe drives in 1U is a specific design target — dense vSAN ESA nodes, 10 Ceph OSD nodes per 1U chassis, or distributed storage where maximizing drives-per-rack-unit drives cluster economics. For most Gen10+ 1U deployments, the 8-Bay covers the storage design. We'll advise at quote time.
Navigation: Gen10 equivalent → DL360 Gen10 10-Bay. 8-Bay alternative → DL360 Gen10+ 8-Bay. 2U option → DL380 Gen10+ 16-Bay.
Workload Fit
| This server excels at | Consider alternatives for |
|---|---|
| ✅ vSAN ESA at 10 NVMe drives per 1U node | ❌ 8 drives sufficient (use Gen10+ 8-Bay) |
| ✅ Ceph 10 OSD per 1U density | ❌ 2U preferred for more storage flexibility |
| ✅ Maximum Gen4 NVMe drives per 1U chassis | ❌ Gen10 ESA not required (Gen10 10-Bay sufficient) |
