MSA 2042 SAN RAID Array Configuration for VMWARE

Hi Folks,
 

I have a new project with a SAN, and I'm not a specialist with this. We will have 2 ESXi on HP DL360 Gen9, connected to a HPE MSA 2042 SAN.

The SAN will have 22 Hard Drive, and each of them will have 600GB.

What kind of setup you will do with this? RAID Level?

Our environnment will have  25 VM, that can be characterized in 3 categorie (PROD, INT PROD, and DEV).

1 large RAID with 3 LUN ?
For RAID, what you think about this ? :

RAID 10
20 HD in Prod + 2 hot spare
Usable Storage: 5.5 TB / 5587.9 GB


VS

RAID 6
20 HD in PROD with 2 HotSpare
Usable Storage: 9.8 TB / 10058.3 GB

 

Thanks all in advance for your answer!

Storage

Computer data storage, often called storage or memory, is a technology consisting of computer components and recording media used to retain digital data. In addition to local storage devices like CD and DVD readers, hard drives and flash drives, solid state drives can hold enormous amounts of data in a very small device. Cloud services and other new forms of remote storage also add to the capacity of devices and their ability to access more data without building additional data storage into a device.
