DFS with Windows Storage Replication

Storage Replica is a new Windows Server technology that allows you to replicate the content of your volumes between servers or clusters for disaster recovery. It was introduced on Windows Server 2016. This is a data replication technology that copies data between the two Windows Servers at the block level.  Synchronous replication mirrors data within a low-latency network site with crash-consistent volumes to ensure zero data loss at the file-system level during a failure.
