Explanation

When a VM is configured with hard disks totaling 100 GB and uses a RAID 5 vSAN Storage Policy, the total space consumed on the vSAN Datastore is approximately 133 GB. RAID 5 in vSAN requires additional space for parity, which is typically about 1.33 times the original data size. This means that for 100 GB of allocated space, the actual consumed space will be around 133 GB, accounting for the data and parity overhead.
