About SAN Storage Guide
SAN Storage Guide publishes explanations of block-storage fabrics for homelabs and small businesses, with a focus on Fibre Channel, NVMe-oF, zoning, volume access and path design.
The guides help readers understand a proposed topology, prepare a capacity estimate and follow a latency investigation. Coverage draws on published standards and official configuration documentation.
What is covered here
- Performance
- SAN Fundamentals
- Storage Networking
5 articles are published so far. New articles are announced on the RSS feed; there is no fixed publishing schedule and this site does not promise one.
How these articles are produced
Articles are researched from primary sources: vendor and project documentation, published standards and specifications, release notes, advisories, and measurements published by the people who took them. Drafts are produced with AI assistance and then edited against those same sources before anything is published. Where a figure comes from a datasheet or a third-party measurement, the article names the source and links to it so you can check the original rather than take this site's summary of it.
Everything here is published under the SAN Storage Guide Editorial byline. That is an editorial desk, not a person, and no article on this site claims hands-on lab testing, benchmarking, or first-hand measurement. Nothing here should be read as a report of something this site physically tested.
Corrections
Claims should be checked against the cited documentation for the relevant hardware and software version. Substantive corrections are made on the article itself, with its source references updated where needed. Capacity estimates should be read with their stated assumptions; they do not establish a particular workload's performance.
How this site is funded
This site currently runs no affiliate links, no sponsored content, no paid placement, and no display advertising. Nothing on it earns a commission. If that changes, this page and the disclosure page will say so before any such link appears.
The full position is on the disclosure page. Read it before acting on anything here that reads like a buying recommendation.
Find the right storage guide
SAN Storage Guide focuses on Fibre Channel, NVMe-oF and fabric design. For targets, initiators, CHAP and LUN configuration, read iSCSI fundamentals on iSCSI Hub. Use that guide for protocol setup and the articles here for the surrounding topology, access boundaries and performance investigation.
