I will go with Build Own Config and Ready nodes
vSAN ESA has the following requirements:
• vSAN ReadyNode Only
• Minimum of 16 CPUs
• Minimum of 128 GB of RAM
• Minimum 25 Gbps NIC for vSAN traffic
• Minimum 1 Gbps NIC for VM and management traffic
• Minimum 2 NVMe-based SSDs per host, Class D or better for endurance or Class F for performance
• SAS and SATA devices are not supported
• NVMe SSDs must be at least 1.6 TB in size
To enable vSAN ESA (Erasure Coding with Small Components) for a vSAN cluster, the two requirements that need to be met are:
vSAN Advanced license (Option D)
vSAN ReadyNodes configuration (Option E)
D E. ESA requires advanced license. Ready-node is the only other choice that would work. https://infohub.delltechnologies.com/l/dell-vxrail-system-tech-book/vxrail-nodes-running-vsan-esa/#:~:text=Clusters%20running%20vSAN%20ESA%20requires,Advanced%20license%20edition%20or%20higher.
ESA is an optional alternative to the current vSAN original storage architecture and will be available to run on qualified hardware ESA-approved vSAN ReadyNodes.
The vSAN Express Storage Architecture can be incorporated into existing environments to make the transition simple and more transparent. Implementing vSAN ESA requires approved hardware and vSAN Advanced or Enterprise license.
