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.

[...] those sell for some serious dough.

Using a position in IT for personal gain doesn't seem ethical, so I really hope OP pays it forward when they're done with this equipment.

I've been waiting for my workplace to decommission our VNX2's. Sadly, we keep shelling out for the extended warranty, because our company is structured such that paying through the nose with operating budgets tends to be preferred over spending capital on equipment.
