HP CTO ONLY DL160 GEN9 8SFF CTO SRV is rated3.50 out of5 by2.
Rated 5 out of 5 byNick99 from nullMight be a decent server if you are installing Windows 2012 only, but for anything else its a complete nightmare. The low-end RAID card only supports UEFI OS'es (and even with that its just software RAID through drivers). The server's BIOS is just loaded with bloat (checking in with HP's cloud services, etc) and even the "Intelligent" deployment tools freezes up on the first few tries. When trying to update that, the updater also froze. When trying to get help through the sea of HP documents and hoops of links, I also learned that HP's new policy is you need a support contract to download any firmware update for servers out of warranty. I've supported countless HP Proliant servers in the past 10 years but this Gen9 release and new download policy has me looking at Dell. Sorry HP, shot yourselves in the foot here.

Rated 5 out of 5 bypaulbrown6 from nullAccording to many sources The HP ProLiant DL160 Gen9 Server delivers the right balance of performance, storage, reliability, manageability and efficiency in a dense and compact chassis. The best thing is this server offers 16 DIMM slots of HP DDR4 SmartMemory, with built-in intelligence to reduce downtime and up to 14% 1 better throughput performance.This is our positive review from www.ware247.co.uk
