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.

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

We've still got 7 R640's in production across two locations.

Well, it depends from the worload, but I would really change them to new hardware already.
