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.

Jesus christ your lucky, those sell for some serious dough. I don't even see Rx40 on the second hand market much, mostly going from Rx10/20's to Rx30's now.

r740s are still fine to be used for production, even with new 15 and 16 gens available.

aren't those worse than a modern i3?

Which modern i3 supports hundreds of gigabytes of RAM and has a shit ton of cores?
