@DustinB3403 FFS, the size of the data has nothing to do with the need for a SAN.
If you need more data than you can fit in a 4U box, then you buy a DAS to connect to your box to get more storage. Or you look at multiple boxes with local storage and then a vSAN or something to get the storage amount you need.
You use a SAN when you need lots of hosts on the same set of data.
Of which he's said he doesn't need a lot of hosts, since he is downsizing. FFS!
He even said "1250 iops should be more than enough" which is indicative that he isn't doing dick with the underlying storage.
I never read the linked thread. Just responding to your statement here.

Would you all be happy if I said " OP is looking to downscale from a column designed network into an IPOD when he requires only 43TB of storage and 1250 IOPS"
damn. . .

You are not understanding. You claimed that size of storage is what decided the need for a SAN or not. That is what is being argued with you. It has nothing to do with anything else.

We all generally understand that at under certain host count a SAN (and the storage it can provide) makes no fucking sense at all.
Why are you guys up my ass about it today?

No, as long as your answer includes a capacity number (in TB) no one is going to agree with the statement. There is no capacity number, large or small, that makes a SAN more or less likely.

because you are insisting on a totally different decision factor that doesn't make sense.
Even if you only need 250GB of shared stuff, but you need to share it to enough hosts, then a SAN make sense.

Not in context of the OP, which is a 2 host 1 san solution he's looking for.
So *** off, all of ya. . . shit.

But then why state the red herring as the reason instead of the actual reason? the reason is "two hosts", nothing to do with the capacity number, but you implied that a large capacity number would make a SAN make sense, even just for one host.

Had a SAN, but thought it was a NAS. Didn't have power protection. IPOD in a non-profit. Now his VMs are corrupt.

Trying to use FreeNAS as a SAN without even knowing what a SAN is. iSCSI shared LUNs to Windows 8.1 and the files are corrupt... big surprise.

So his ups failing counts as not having power protection?

Only one UPS feeding a SAN? Yes.

Most of how bad it is was quoted further down, though. He didn't hide anything, he just made himself stand out as not thinking through what he was asking.

Seven servers and one SAN on one UPS? Instead of a single point of failure SAN, seven stand alone servers, no shared storage with two UPS would have provided a lot more protection
