HPE ProLiant DL360 Gen10 Plus Drives
Genuine HPE hot-plug drives for the HPE ProLiant DL360 Gen10 Plus, new and refurbished, tested before shipping. This generation brought U.3 tri-mode bays to the 1U line — NVMe, SAS, and SATA drives sharing the same slots, cage permitting.
DL360 Gen10 Plus Drive Specifications
- Bay layout: 8SFF front end plus optional 2SFF — up to 10 SFF drives
- Top capacities: 15.36TB SAS SSDs (153TB total), 7.68TB SATA SSDs, 2.4TB 10K SAS HDDs
- Interfaces: NVMe (U.3), SAS 12G, SATA 6G — cage type sets which interfaces each bay supports
- SSD endurance classes: Read Intensive and Mixed Use
The cage decides what fits. DL360 Gen10 Plus bays come as U.3 tri-mode or SAS/SATA cages — a drive only works in a bay whose cage supports its interface, so identify your cage before ordering NVMe.
What drives fit the DL360 Gen10 Plus?
| Bay type | Cage | Interfaces | Max bays |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2.5-inch SFF | U.3 tri-mode | NVMe, SAS 12G, SATA 6G | 10 |
| 2.5-inch SFF | SAS/SATA | SAS 12G, SATA 6G | 10 |

Choosing the Right DL360 Gen10 Plus Drives
- Know your cage before ordering: tri-mode cages take all three interfaces; SAS/SATA cages take no NVMe.
- Never mix interfaces or endurance classes within one RAID array — build arrays from identical drives.
- Match endurance to workload: Read Intensive for read-heavy serving, Mixed Use for databases — our DWPD guide explains the classes.

DL360 Gen10 Plus Drives FAQ
Does the HPE ProLiant DL360 Gen10 Plus support NVMe drives?
Yes - through U.3 tri-mode bays, where each slot can run NVMe, SAS, or SATA depending on the cage's wiring. Check which cage your server has before ordering NVMe.
How many drives fit in a DL360 Gen10 Plus?
Up to 10 SFF drives - the 8SFF front end plus an optional 2SFF cage.
What is the difference between U.2 and U.3 drives?
U.3 is the tri-mode evolution of U.2: same 2.5-inch form factor, but U.3 backplanes run NVMe, SAS, or SATA through one connector. Our U.2 vs U.3 guide covers the details.
Can I use drives from a DL360 Gen10 in the Gen10 Plus?
Check the part number against the Gen10 Plus QuickSpecs first - SFF SAS/SATA drives generally carry across, but this platform adds U.3 bays the Gen10 never had, and support lists differ by generation.
What's the difference between Read Intensive and Mixed Use SSDs?
Endurance. Read Intensive drives are rated around 1 drive write per day and cost less per TB; Mixed Use drives are rated around 3 DWPD for write-heavy workloads. Match the class to your workload and never mix classes in one array.
