   With 16tb drives these days ... yea.

   Or is 26x16tb not enough ?

   However it ACTUALLY encourages referencing
   external storage as URLs, not as mapped

   Frankly, humans PREFER the drive letters - far
   easier to remember/reference/relate. The payroll
   stuff goes on the 'P:' drive ....
