Does anyone run VM's off an S500 using NFS? If so how does it perform and would you recommend it? I would be using this in a production environment but with pretty low utilization servers that I suspect would have less load than many of you have in yout test environments.
Also if anyone else has any similar solutions that you would suggest I am all ears. The S500 goes for about $15K with 3TB usable storage and thats about the max my budget will allow. I will be running ESX Starter so i will be limited to NFS only but I still want the device to support iSCSI for another use as well.
