OK, understood on the caching and performance. I meet all the requirements for LSFS, but am fine not using it if there is a snapshot option for standard images. In the RAID guide I don't see RAID 6 mentioned anywhere. So if I don't want the storage loss of RAID 10, RAID 5 is fine for 8 SSDs? Thanks,...

If I don't head down the LSFS path, is it because of no need because of spinning rust vs. SSD or is it because of reliability? My concern is being able to snapshot storage with flat images? Also what about other config like RAID array and StarWind image file cache settings?

I am trying to build out a 2 node HA StarWind storage system. Here is the hardware... 2 identical recent HP servers with 8 x 1.9TB enterprise SSD's and 8 x 3.8TB enterprise SSD's each, 256GB of RAM, 2 x 40Gb sync network, and 4 x 10Gb iSCSI network Based on what I am reading I could do a 7 drive RAI...
