 @scottalanmiller Even more though, 4GB installed equals 2GB usable, so 8GB must equal 4GB? lmao

 I think I'm going cold-turkey for a while. Some of the things asked just hurt to read out loud.

 I feel like this is a really serious misunderstanding of storage and just "systems" in general. Am I crazy? He seems to have no concept of the resulting system, he sees it as just the underlying parts, not a system on its own. https://community.spiceworks.com/topic/2096720-best-workloads-for-hybrid-vs-flash-storage-arrays

 @scottalanmiller said in I can't even: I was actually consulting on a backup design just yesterday where we were using Hyper-V in exactly this way as a backup target, but building the backup system using Starwind. It was a backup device in every way, no expectation of VMs to run there, no live systems ever, just Hyper-V + Starwind used to handle the replica-based file backups. That's a good setup if you need HA/FT backups and there is a particular requirement to always be able to recover. We have a similar configuration using free version https://www.starwindsoftware.com/starwind-virtual-san-free on top of two decommissioned DELL servers packed with drives and SMB share as VEEAM repository on top. Works like a charm.
