DL380 G5 running Windows Server 2008 with Vmware Server! (Need to add more space)

Hi,

 

 

I'm running Windows server 2008 with Vmware Server works like a treat (Hypervisor was Beta at the time).

 

 

However I'd like to add more Virtual Machines onto the server but have no disk space, there is a SCSI connection on the back of the server, I see Netgear have released some new cheap NAS ReadyNAS Pro and ReadyNAS NVX.

 

 

We are a small construction firm 20+ users using AutoCAD so high data transfer required.

 

 

So here's the question "What's the best option on adding more space?"

 

 

A. Add ReadyNAS Pro and ReadyNAS NVX via USB to the DL380 G5 mount USB drive as Datastore place VDMK on USB?

 

 

B. Do I look for a cheap NAS that be connected to DL380 G5 via the free scsi connection then mount device as Datastore etc...

 

 

C. Add ReadyNAS Pro and ReadyNAS NVX via dedicated 1 Gigabyte Ethernet to DL380 G5 then mount as Datastore etc...
