Multi node multi instance clustering Drive letters

    we have a two node one instance cluster in our environment. Planning to make it multi node multi instance. Currently on each instance we have around 8 different drives. We are thinking of 4 node 3 instance clustering, so total drives will be around 24 drives. But as I see there are only 17 drive letters to choose from. How to configure the 4 node 3 instance cluster with all 24 drives ?

    use mountpoints, then mount the 1st drive as f: and the next drive as F:\SQLData, next f:\SQLLogs etc for instance1 then do the same for instance2 but make that G:\.

    4 Nodes - 4 different drive letters with multiple disks arrayed under.

    You mean: 4 instances - 4 different drive letters with multiple disks arrayed under.
