RAM prices have roughly doubled, server memory quotes change week to week, and the shortage is expected to last years. The cause isn't a factory fire or a pandemic — it's the AI buildout, and one piece of wafer math explains almost ev

Thinking about putting a cheaper third-party drive in your HPE ProLiant server? Here's what actually happens — to iLO, to your fans, to firmware updates, and to your support coverage — and when a non-HPE drive is (and isn't) a r

EDSFF E3.S is the storage form factor built for PCIe Gen5 NVMe — denser, cooler, and faster than the 2.5-inch drives it's replacing. Here's what it is, how it compares to U.2/U.3, and which HPE ProLiant servers use it. Last updated:

The maximum memory configuration of an HPE ProLiant Compute Gen12 server reaches 8TB on a dual-socket Intel Xeon 6 system like the DL380 Gen12, while a single-socket AMD EPYC server like the DL325 Gen12 packs up to 6TB into one processor &m

Which HDDs, SSDs, and NVMe drives fit your HPE ProLiant Gen11 server — including the DL360, DL380, and ML350 — plus the Basic Carrier, Low Profile Carrier, U.3, and EDSFF details that actually decide compatibility. Last updated

HPE ProLiant fans stuck at full speed even when the server is cool? If you've installed third-party drives, here's exactly why it happens — and the clean, supported way to fix it. Last updated: 2026 If you manage a data center, a se

HPE's MSA 2050 and 2060 look similar at a glance, but a new controller ASIC, more cache, and MSA-DP+ separate them. Here's how the Gen5 and Gen6 SAN arrays compare — and which one fits. Last updated: 2026 The HPE MSA 2050 and MSA 20

The right SSD can transform a ProLiant server's performance, reliability, and efficiency. Here's how to match interface, endurance, form factor, and your server generation to the workload — without overspending. Last updated: 2026 C

U.2 and U.3 enterprise SSDs share the same connector but aren't the same thing. Here's what separates them, which fits your HPE ProLiant server, and the one compatibility rule that trips people up. Last updated: 2026 U.2 and U.3 are both
