Thanks guys. btw, what is the performance difference between doing a raid0 on the multiple ephemeral drives available, and then assign it to cassandra data directory, vs creating a mount on each of these drives, and then specify all of these to cassandra's data directory list?
since these drives are all virtual, would there be any benefit at all in doing a raid0 ?
