These were originally built as a VSAN which I plan on replicating once I build a proper home vSphere environment. Each of the 740s have about 12TB raw in them but I'd like to load the 8 empty bays in each, anyone know where I can get a stack of cheap/used 1.8TB 2.5" SAS drives? I care more about capacity compared to speed as I plan on making the 440 a standalone all flash host.

Crossing fingers I can hold of some 14Gen Dell's from work myself (640 and 740XD) next year when they will be replaced. Not sure of the noise levels, though. Hard to figure out in our server room with several other racks and coolers... Had quite a few 13Gen 630/730s in my homelab, and my current 730XD does not make more noise than my desktop machine.
