I'm installing elasticsearch and needs 2 TB storage for shipping from filesystem log files using beats and logstash. What is the proper storage type as per our required design (frequent writes, many nodes and less read) :  
• eNAS  
• SAN  
• or ODF

Let me rephrase the question: is it recommended to have one shared storage for all Elasticsearch nodes or having a private storage for each node of the cluster?
