Hello bkdilse, Thank you for your question. Could you please specify the disks type and their capacity? Generally, I suggest you consider the RAID 5. It will take the capacity of one drive and write operations will be slower, but you can withstand a single drive failure on both nodes simultaneously....

Regarding the StarWind article: a) The sum of iSCSI connections includes only the iSCSI initiator links. b) We recommend assigning the Failover Policy in this case as it provides the best performance for the storage. c) In fact, one loopback connection thr...
