Hi Guys,
I've got a single Windows 2016 server that contains the following drives:
1) 1x 200GB Intel SATA SSD Drive (in SC216 chassis)
-This is the OS Drive
2) 12x 400GB WD SAS SSD Drives (in SC216 chassis)
-Each drive contains one or more Hyper-V VM images
3) 14x 3TB WD SATA Red Drives (in SC846 chassis)
-These are storage drives. Most are storing Blu-ray (Movie and TV) rips from my library and are accessed through a Plex server which I installed in one of the Hyper-V VM images.
With each drive currently mapped to a letter I have now used up all 27 letters in the alphabet. Since I have room for another 12 SSD's in my SC216 chassis and another 10 SATA drives in my SC846 chassis I'm trying to figure out the best way to proceed as I add more drives. I was hoping Server 2016 would support adding drive names like A1, B2 etc, but this doesn't look possible.
Any recommendations on how to proceed here and any gotchas I should be aware of?
Thank you
