The only time you'd want more than one broker to use the same data directory is when you were configuring shared-store HA (i.e. where one broker is active and the others are passive backups).
If you want to run multiple independent brokers simultaneously on the same machine then each broker needs its own data directory. Using the same disk is fine. The Artemis test-suite as well as many examples do this.
