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.

Hell my team is forced to still be using some servers that have been out of warranty for 2 years now because it takes SO LONG to get corporate to go through the purchasing process and then get someone to actually set up new servers in the data center. OP got servers for free that are nicer than half the servers my team is using in production.
