Ok. What would be the drawbacks :)

No, this is a really really bad idea and C* was not designed for this, in fact, 
it was designed so you don't need to have a large expensive SAN.

Don't be tempted by the shiny expensive SAN. :)

If money is no object instead throw SSD's in your nodes and run 10G between 
racks

Subject: Cassandra with SAN

Hi - Is it a good idea to use Cassandra with SAN ?  Say a SAN which provides me 
8 Petabytes of storage. Would I not be I/O bound irrespective of the no of 
Cassandra machines and scaling by adding
machines won't help ?

Thanks
Kanwar
