      This is what we do.

      Option 3.
      Hypervisor on satadom or small SSD drive.
      Performance storage array with SSDs. Raid 1 or 10.
      Capacity storage array with 3.5" HDDs. Raid 1 or 10.

      • Each VMs gets the kind of storage it needs.
      • RAID1 is default for the arrays.
      • RAID10 is only used when the capacity is needed (always as few drives as possible).

      Right now I'm prepping a RAID 1 array 2x16TB that will go into one of our hosts.

      md4 : active raid1 sdm[1] sdl[0]
            15625748288 blocks super 1.2 [2/2] [UU]
            [>....................]  resync =  0.6% (99811008/15625748288) finish=1322.2min speed=195699K/sec
      

      We'll see how long it takes. Supposedly around 23 hours.

      Same here.

        So you've moved to SSD with RAID 1 or RAID 10, no more RAID 5?
