I'm still enjoying the bliss of removing some rust and putting my vms on a s3500... Will definitely be getting a short stack and maybe even a full helping. Still unsure whether to zfs, jbod, or even just stripe them for max performance and back them up nightly to rust.
The cards were designed and sold as SQL Server application speed ups so they will likely help with UC2 and I'm not quite as clear about configuration for UC1 although zfs and cache might be the answer.
I have 2 different use case where these might be helpful:
1. Work - multiple desktop vms running simultaneously for product testing.
2. Play - kaggle box -For data mining/machine learning this could be nice in those cases where my data has to be staged and disk read is the limiter to analyzing a model.
I'm not sure how Hyper-V and Windows Server play with this yet. I am still running Hyper-V on top of Windows 10 (metal) rather than running my desktop os as a VM from Within Windows 2012R2 or 2016TP# without a UI.
