vSAN1

Are there any considerations to be aware of?  Should different disk controllers be used?  It seems to be supported as there's VSAN Ready nodes with a mix of SAS and SATA but wanted to see if there's any gotchas or anything else to be mindful of when mixing drive types.

The config will be:

qty 8 - 960GB Solid State Drive SAS Mix Use MLC 2.5in Hot-plug Drive

qty 16 - 3.84TB Solid State Drive SATA Read Intensive TLC 6Gbps 2.5in Hot-plug Drive

Hello,

How were you planning to set this up?:

4 nodes each with 2x Disk-groups each composed of 1x 960GB SSD as caching-tier + 2x 3.84TB SSDs as capacity-tier?

There should be no problem with a set-up as per above provided all disks (and controllers) are on the vSAN HCL and of course that the 960GB SSDs are certified for use as All-Flash caching-tier.
