Explanation

Starting with vSAN 8.0 ESA (Express Storage Architecture) VMware has introduced an adaptive RAID-5 mechanism. What does this mean? Essentially, vSAN deploys a particular RAID-5 configuration depending on the size of the cluster! There are two options, let's list them out and discuss them individually. RAID-5, 2+1, 3-5 hosts RAID-5, 4+1, 6 hosts or more As mentioned in the above list, depending on the cluster size, you will see a particular RAID-5 configuration. Clusters of up to 5 hosts will see a 2+1 configuration when RAID-5 is selected.
