What is the minimum network throughput in Gb/s for vSAN using the Express Storage Architec-ture (ESA)?
What is the minimum network throughput in Gb/s for vSAN using the Express Storage Architec-ture (ESA)?
The minimum network throughput for vSAN using the Express Storage Architecture (ESA) is 25 Gb/s. This requirement ensures that the system can handle the high data transfer rates necessary for optimal performance and reliability in environments utilizing ESA.

vSAN ESA requires minimum 25Gbps, for vSAN OSA 10Gbps is enough
what is the difference please; my understanding from the below that the minimum is 10 GB vSAN Express Storage Architecture (ESA) are supports 10Gbps for ESA-RN-0 profiles and ESA-2 and above profiles will 25Gbps or higher speed requirements. ESA ReadyNodes configured for vSAN ESA will be configured with 25/50/100Gbps NICs. The 10Gbps requirement for the ESA-RN-0 profiles should be considered for brownfield deployments, but it is strongly advised to still purchase 25Gbps NICs for future proofing as the SFP28 interface will be backwards compatible with a 10Gbps SFP+ switch interface. https://core.vmware.com/resource/vmware-vsan-design-guide#sec6822-sub1
25Gb is correct: https://core.vmware.com/blog/comparing-original-storage-architecture-vsan-8-express-storage-architecture
