And another +1 To backup storage. That's actually what ~70-80% of our customers do with their SANs when swtiching to StarWind HCA or even VSAN.
Another interesting approach which I see less often is to use 2 existing SAN boxes as a storage capacity addition to the new HCI, with some of that storage actually mirrored between the SANs through the HCI storage virtualization layer. This is where customers can actually keep both backup and testing workloads without breaking the SANs into islands of resources.

@Dashrender I have been using this lately for small office main copier and / or workgroup copier in larger offices.

HP Laserjet Pro M477fdn All-in-One Color Printer, (CF378A)

$380 on Amazon.

Those look nice. I've had decent luck with HP OfficeJet Pro 8600 series, and now the Epson EcoTanks. The EcoTank refills are just amazingly inexpensive compared to anything else around except the other printer models you have to mod to add the tanks to.
