Can’t speak to much for vm performance. We have one esxi 5.0 host with 4 guests on the isand and performance on that small load is very good.
Our main use is a datastore for dpm backups.

Only looking at a single unit, so no replication. The unit is being recommended by the department to support a virtualization environment, using esx & hyper-v v3, in both clustered and non-clustered configurations. And they would be constantly building & tearing down VM’s, so there is going to be lots of random I/O. I haven’t been able to find any useful information on how performant this unit will be for the needs.

One miSAN-D8 with 8 x 3 tb SATA drives. One iSAND with 6 x SAS drive and 6 x SATA drives. We’ve been quite happy with the support overall. We had two drives in the miSAND fail. They provide a spare for us to keep on site, replace the failed drive, send it back to them and they return a replacement spare in a few days. We originally had a problem getting replication to complete between the two units, but the latest firmware solved that problem. Now, I don’t have anything to compare it against for performance, but for our use it is works well.

We have a request from a department that wants to get an 16TB model. Looks like the model # is: miSAN-D8/T8: 8TB SATA 7.2K drives, 8 bay, 2U with an expansion unit of: EX8/T8: 8TB SATA 7.2K drives, 8 bay, 2U I've read the marketing stuff from the company. I've found a few reviews, with more than 50% being negative. Just looking for more information & experience if anyone has any they'd be willing to share.
