I'm assuming you're using Hyper-V for virtualization? Otherwise, how would this benefit?

Yes. I'm going to be wiping and reconfiguring our current Hyper-V host properly. There's a Synology present that I want to attach via iSCSI.

@EddieJennings If it is a lab Synology with ISCSI is okay otherwise I would not use it.

@dbeato It's not for a lab. Synology will eventually be storage for backups. Part of the server rebuild is bringing the VHDs used for VMs to local storage and getting rid the last of my company's RAID 5 setups. I'd rather not have the Synology sitting and doing nothing; thus. . .

Yes, Synology is probably safer than the RAID5 volume at this point.

Yeah. Synology will only be used for backups. VMs will be running off of local SATA drives.

I use Synologys for backups and they have worked out great for 2 years now.

Just installed KVM/QEMU on my Korora 25 laptop. Quick and snappy.

sudo dnf groupinstall virtualization then reboot

Starting guests are super quick. Kicking myself as to why I haven't done this sooner.

@gjacobse Invent it and patent it. I'm sure there is a demand.

Perfect use case for them.

Did you see the pricing on those? That's awful spendy for a cable set.
