The HPE ProLiant DL160 Gen10 is an entry-level 1U server designed for SMBs with small budgets or service providers who don't need all the configurability and features of high-end servers, much the same way as the HPE ProLiant DL180 Gen10. HPE has tightened down the compatibility with this line as well, including the available CPUs and drive configuration. This is done to make it easier for companies that might need modest compute abilities and don’t need the more extensive resources of the more comprehensive DL models like the DL360.
