How to do storage replication on Windows Server 2012 R2 in a lab?

Question

I want to mock up an architecture for a proof-of-concept and need to synchronously replicate a volume from one Windows Server 2012 R2 to another. Can anyone suggest a (ideally free) way to do this in a lab environment?

I just want to mock up some ideas before trying them in a "proper" SAN-equipped environment.

Check out SDS solutions from HP http://www8.hp.com/us/en/products/data-storage/free-vsa.html and StarWind https://www.starwindsoftware.com/starwind-virtual-san-free. They both have free versions, but, if I'm not mistaken, HP VSA can only give you up to 1TB free while StarWind provides unlimited storage capacity.

The guy in that Starwind video on that link should stop smoking dope before making videos. – Mark Allison Nov 28 '16 at 22:35
This video reminds me of a Kurt Cobain's "Something In The Way" :))) – BaronSamedi1958 Nov 29 '16 at 11:29
