Affordable SAN/ISCSI for Hyper-V Failover Cluster
I am looking to pull from everyone's first hand experience regarding Microsoft Hyper-V's failover cluster support. I need a device out there that doesn't cost huge money and still supports this technology. I found something from EMC I think might work around $8500. Anyone esle have a suggestion or more input?

That being said, is it possible to do away with NAS and have Hyper-V failover clustering configured with DAS? {Direct Attached Storage to each server}

To continue picking your brain, if I had two servers running Hyper-V with two separate ISCSI devices, one for use with each server, would I be able to use Hyper-V clustering? Let's assume that the NAS devices that were being used for ISCSI storage didn't support Cluster Shared Volumes.
What am I getting at:
Does the cluster mirror data, or do you have to have some kind of ISCSI device that allows for multiple hosts to connect to one volume?
