To be a bit more explicit : 1) determine if sstable names are unique across drives (they should be) 2) pre-copy all sstables from all source drives to target single drive 3) drain and stop cassandra 4) re-copy all sstables from all source drives to target single drive, with --delete or equivalent option to rsync such that you delete any files missing from source drives due to compaction in the interim 5) start cassandra with new conf file with single drive 6) if it doesn't work for some unforseen reason, you still have all your sstables in the old dirs, so just revert the conf file and fail back =Rob
