HP ProLiant DL380 Gen9
The HP ProLiant DL380 Gen9 is the classic 2U all-rounder for homelabs: dual LGA2011-3 sockets for Xeon E5-2600 v3/v4, plenty of DDR4 ECC and either 8 or 16 SFF bays depending on the build. iLO4 gives you full remote management – it's the HPE counterpart to the Dell R730. When buying used, the chassis variant matters most: check whether it's an 8-bay or 16-bay SFF backplane and whether caddies plus a suitable controller (B140i, P440ar or HBA) are included. We track the DL380 Gen9 on eBay.de and score every listing against its own price history.

Frequently asked questions
Which CPUs fit the DL380 Gen9?
Socket LGA2011-3, meaning Xeon E5-2600 v3 (Haswell) or v4 (Broadwell). v4 is more efficient and supports faster DDR4 ECC, given a BIOS update. Populate both sockets for full RAM and PCIe capacity.
8 vs 16 SFF bays – what to look for?
Bay count depends on the installed backplane and can be upgraded, but it's not trivial. If you plan many drives, buy the 16-bay model outright. Confirm caddies are included – buying them separately adds up fast.
Do I need a separate controller for TrueNAS/ZFS?
It depends. If the server has a RAID controller like the P440ar, you'll want an HBA in IT mode or the B140i in AHCI mode for ZFS instead, so drives pass through directly rather than sitting behind hardware RAID.
