Can drives exceed the number of letters in the alphabet?

I’m planning to increase the number of drives in my server to 30, but that means exceeding the number of letters in the alphabet.

Will TrueNAS have a problem with this?

Nope, it just loops around and starts doubling up the letters.

So you’ll have, for example /dev/sda, /dev/sdb, /dev/sdc … /dev/sdz, then /dev/sdaa, /dev/sdab, /dev/sdac, /dev/sdad, etc.

If you kept going you’d eventually have /dev/sdba, /dev/sdbb, /dev/sdbc, /dev/sdbd etc.
