This Veeam Ready test was performed with storage having a configuration that includes SSD/Flash. As such, this classification only applies to similar configurations in which the same amount or more SSD drives are used. The use of non-SSD drives may negatively impact performance.
SMB write-through is supported on this platform and was used in the Veeam Ready testing. Continuous availability must be enabled for SMB share at the time of creation as it cannot be configured retrospectively. For more details about continuous availability read more at KB3124.
