If you use the replication features of LINBIT SDS (DRBD), then yes. DRBD storage replication is fully synchronous by default. Volumes are RWO (read write once). Quorum and internal protocols determine whether or not a specific replica may be promoted (become RW).
Yes, you can have multiple storage classes defined within LINSTOR. Each storage class could be backed by different classes of physical storage. Larger slower SSDs could make up one LINSTOR storage pool, while smaller lower latency NVMe devices could be used as another storage pool.
