My original plan was to go with a FreeNAS+iSCSI backed storage for a 4 node ESXi cluster, however, after taking some feedback, I wanted to entertain the idea of VSAN instead. The limitation is that I only have 3 drive slots per node. The server chassis I'm using is Intel H2312XXKR2, with 4 nodes of dual E5-2670 and 64GB of RAM (will upgrade later on). Each node also has a X520-DA2 which will be connected to the LB6M. I been reading up VSAN documentations but I want to get some input on the design first so I'm not spinning my wheels. I want to go with a 200/400GB SSD cache (likely S3710), and 2x 2TB 7200RPM drives. Should I be able to expect reasonable performance with this setup?
