Re: money money money money..... MONEY! (To the original anonymous poster with comments about 7.5Gbyte drives under windows.)
a) Your numbers on the largest logical drive possible in Windows are way off.
b) You can mount drives any number of ways, including off folders, etc. You are not limited to 26 letters.
c) Nobody would organize a VLDB database around a collection of drives, a through z. The storage hierarchy in these very large databases is much more complex and layered.
d) Here's an example of a 1.1 petabyte database running on a Windows platform:
The Panoramic Survey Telescope and Rapid Response System, (Pan-STARRS) is the example offered by Microsoft when it comes to one of the world's largest databases, with SQL Server 2008 at its infrastructure. The Redmond company indicated that the Pan-STARRS architects are building a massive 1.1 petabytes (quadrillion bytes) of disk storage for the celestial imagery which would be provided by four telescopes via 1.4-gigapixel resolution digital cameras. At this point in time, with just a single functioning telescope, Pan-STARRS is producing 1.4 terabytes of imagery each night.
“There are only a handful of databases that large in the world,” revealed Ted Kummert, corporate vice president of the Data and Storage Platform Division at Microsoft.
