Overall Satisfaction with StarWind Virtual SAN
I used StarWind Virtual SAN a few times in small and lab environments, and it's been a straightforward software-defined storage option. The setup process is easy, performance is good and it works well for creating highly available storage without needing dedicated SAN hardware.
Pros
- Use on own hardware, no hardware vendor lock-in
- Ease of use
- Clear documentation
Cons
- Bare metal deployment without OS
- Pricing on the website
- Simple solution without large investment
- Free version allows for use as temporary setup
Other solutions were proven to be less reliable in the specific test setup used.
