ISCSI NAS for home lab? I've got a single ESXi 6.5 host running with a couple vms on local disk, however, I'm a bit space constrained. Rather than add another local disk to the host, I'd like to set up a NAS (ISCSI preferred over NFS but if the price is right NFS is acceptable).

The current NAS boxes are low-cost and unsuitable for running VMs from. Support NFS only. Slow. My plan is to have a dedicated iSCSI/NAS for storing and running VMs. Two additional low-cost boxes for backup. I'm looking for advice regarding 2 things really: Recommendations as far as VMware architecture/design for a smaller organization.
