'kafka with jbod disks + what the max numbers of disks that we can set on kafka?

we are planing to build 17 kafka machines since we need a huge storage , we are thinking to use jbod disks for each kafka machine

so the plan is like this

number of kafka machines -17

kafka version - 2.7

number of disks on jbod - 44 disks ( when the size of each disk is 2.4T )

so just to give here more perspective from kafka side and kafka configuration

in server.properies file we need to set the logs.dir with 44 disks

based on that we are just thinking if huge number of disks like 44 , is maybe higher then threshold

actually we search a lot to find some useful post that talk about this but without success

so lets summary:

what is the limit about number of disks ( jbod disks ) that we can connect to kafka machine?
