For storage_weight DataStax documentation says: "The weighting factor for this location specifies how much data to place in this directory, relative to other directories in the cluster. This soft constraint determines how DSEFS distributes the data. For example, a directory with a value of 3.0 receives about three times more data than a directory with a value of 1.0." This parameter could be used to influence the data placement algorithm, for example, if you have multiple disks, and some disks are bigger than other, and you want them to receive more data (by default algorithm is trying to spread load between all locations equally).
min_free_space defines how much disk space won't be used for storing data blocks - if the available disk space will go below this value, this location won't be used to store DSEFS data.
