IF you bought a server with that topology, you would definitely want to run lots of instances, perhaps 24, to effectively utilize that disk space.
You'd also need 24 IPs, and you'd need a NIC that could send/receive 24x the normal bandwidth. And the cost of rebuilding such a node would be 24x higher than normal (so consider how many of those you'd have in a cluster, and how often they'd fail).
