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.

Be thankful that you don’t have those, because those thousands of bucks worth of stuff incurr another thousand bucks of costs to setup for proper use. Most end up selling, OP is a badass for using it.
