I hope other people can give me a hand. It might help if you could explain the rationale for that drive. It is entirely mysterious in my eyes, which is more disturbing as it is clear to me that this is somehow very important to you. In general, I think the main goals of the project should be stated clearly and be known and understood, if not accepted. If nothing else, it helps to make the right decisions when writing my own code and reviewing that of others. TIA
