Seems extremely low, I expect at least three orders of magnutide more on a real production system. Does Cassandra really suffer from performance problems at scale?

hmm you expect to see 300,000GB or 300TB per node? What does that mean?

It means that if you need a whole JVM instance to service a tiny chunk of data that's less than even a terabyte then you're doing something extremely wrong.

Leaves a bad impression of Cassandra, personally.
