Hi Shalom,
I don't see any reason why it wouldn't work, but obviously, any resource sharing affects performance. You can expect less degradation with SSD disks, I guess.

Does anyone has any insights regarding this? Can this combination work properly? Since the disks (HDDs) are part of one physical machine that divide their capacity to various instances (not only Cassandra), will this affect performance, especially when the commitlog directory will probably reside with the data directory? I'm at a loss here and don't have any answers for that matter. Can anyone assist please? Thanks!
