Hi
I want to do some test with vSphere 6 VSAN but I don't have any SSDs available for the cache. I know you can fool VSAN in to thinking that a spinner is an SSD for the purposes of testing and I was wondering whether doing so would make the performance worse than spinners acting as local storage only without vsan.
I'm not in need of blistering performance at all, I just want to test some things and not spend money on new drives yet, but I don't want to cripple a test VM on the VSAN worse than if it was just running locally.
