How to organize storage?

Question

System administration

Need advice on how to properly create a file dump with rights. Now there is a simple Synology, which pulls accounts from the domain (it needs to be synchronized each time), and network folders are simply made on this Synology. Links to them from users are placed through GPO (just scattered labels) access via smb. The user enters the folder and works with files.
Now we decided to raise the storage through the FS role on win2019 (there is a clean server for it). Under the file washer, they took the HPE MSA 1050 (or 1060) storage. So the question is, how, from the point of view of best practices and flexibility of modernization in the future, is it right to do this?

Option 1
On the physical hardware, we set the wines, we raise the FS, we will make a 10th raid on the storage system, after which we make 1 LUN from all the space that is there. On the FS server, we connect this moon as an iscsi disk. All. We place the files on this disk and work with it.

Option 2
On physical. I raise hyper-B on the hardware, on it is a virtual machine with the FS role. On the hyper host, I connect the lun with the storage disk via iscsi, and then in the virtual machine settings I make a virtual hard disk where all the files will be placed. All. Everything is virtual, the files are stored in vhdx, which will lie on the storage.

Addition
Regardless of what 1 or 2 is chosen, the DFS role is added to them (for the future), as I understand it.

Maybe someone met a description with real examples of organizing file turnover in a company?

Answer 1

DFS is good for large amounts of data, from 5 TB and above. If you want DFS, then you better use the option with virtual machines and then you need to do DFS right away.
