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.
Hohooo. I hope that after I graduate I’m going to have the same opportunities as some of you to take old equipment home.
work in IT long enough and I can guarantee you will. I’ve gotten tens of thousands of $ worth of free shit over the years.
Sounds like great motivation to pass the upcoming exams lol
