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.

    I too brought home some of those generation Dells… 340, 440, 6515, and 7517… All LFF.

    I want to replace my $50 auction find C240-M3 chassis, but dont want to give up 24 bays of SFF
