Yes this is the point of hyperconverged. You only need three hosts to setup a proper hci cluster. I would recommend ssds for gluster storage. You could get away with non raid to save money since you can do replica three with gluster meaning your data is fully replicated across all three hosts.

Regarding Gluster question. The volumes would be provisioned with LVM on the same block device. I believe 100Gb is recommended for the engine volume. The other volumes such as data would be created on another logical volume and you can use up the rest of the available space there. Ex. 100gb
