No public pricing means they try to squeeze out as much as possible on a per-customer basis. I'm guessing heavy commission based sales.

That's unfortunate.

GroveMarketPlace is reselling StarWind we can get you pricing. Just email me [email protected]

No MSRP without contacting someone means no business from me.

As for Homelab 3 node scenario, you could choose either 3-way or 2-way replication.
3-Way replication means you have 3 copies of the data across all three hosts. 2-way replication in 3 node cluster means that:
target1 is on Node1 & Node2
target2 is on Node2 & Node3
target3 is on Node3 & Node1

And there is no need to partition the drive. We'll place a container file and mirror them across nodes.

@fateknollogee I mean that's depending on your deployment, it's included with 2016 Datacenter....

So is Storage Replica and whole bunch of things you aren't going to use if you aren't within hyperconverged setup. VMware with a separate SKU for VSAN got a better idea. ImHO.

I've been on 7.3 for a while, it's been great. Loving the user controls, what a difference that has made for us.

I posted about their lack of credibility on The Register directly, but it has no appeared yet. I no longer accept quoting The Register as a valid reference to anything. Unless they post a retraction, I can't take them seriously in any context again. This isn't a simple mistake, this is a travesty of reporting and unprofessionalism. I'm not sure which would be worse, if the author was actually this technically inept and reported on tech anyway, or if he was paid off to specifically try to mislead his readers. And how did any editor let this get onto the website?

Just now reaching that conclusion? I wondered when you'd see the light with them.

I've not found them pulling this kind of stuff in the past. Certainly not to this degree!

@scale

This reminds my on why Romania has very fast internet, cause it started developing it nearly from scratch starting from the early 2000, so they build good infrastructure and they didn't have to migrate from old crap.

Yup, exactly. Best large scale Internet in the world. It's mind blowing what a good job they have done.
