So i’ve been working on “Virtualized VSAN” by marking vmdk’s as SSDs.

While this lets me play with setting up VSAN, the performance is …well sad.

Looks like i’ve got some SSDs to add to my servers and try and give it a go.

Now i’m just trying to convince my company to let me get 32 SSDs and servers and try and test out the VMware whitepaper and see if i can get some serious performance.
