Hey guys, quick question. I have a system running Server 2012 and I've got 3 Hard Drives attached to the system:
100GB SSD (OS Only)
500GB SSD (DATA)
2TB USB 3.0 Drive (DATA)
If I have 5 VMs and I want them to use a single share, is there a benefit of using 5 separate iSCSI disks (1 dedicated to each VM) over a single Virtual Hard Drive?
Quick Background, I've got 5 VMS, each running an instance of music broadcasting software. This software uses a SQL db that I set up on it's on VM and it pulls it's music library to wherever I tell it too. I'm basically moving from the VHD partition I created for each server to the iSCSI method. Saving a lot of space because I can now delete those music vhd partitions and have it pull directly from the 3.0 drive where I have much more space to spare.
Any recommendations?
