Each of the sixteen drives appears to the OS as a separate drive *HOWEVER*
they can be configured as:
1) Sixteen separate drives. (e.g. drive letters D, E, F, G, H etc...)
2) A striped or spanned array. (Using dynamic discs and the info here
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;299598&sd=tech)
3) A set of drives mounted into empty NTFS folders.
I do the latter so my client PCs see a single network drive.
