During a workshop to design a vSAN cluster that will host business critical workloads, the customer states that they have already planned the Bill of Material (BOM) with their hardware supplier. The customer shows the following information per node:

1 x RAID/Internal Storage Controller (RAID0).

4 x 1.92 TB SSD SATA Hot-Plug drive.

1 x 800 GB SSD SAS Hot-Plug drive.

What should the architect recommend to help ensure optimal results for this customer?
