    This is one of the reasons why NAS/DAS exist. They allow for a lot of storage to be presented under a single interface (and mounted as a single drive letter under Windows).

    If you don't want to configure a lot of things, just get something like a Synology or QNAP that handles most things for you.
    Make sure to get one with with enough HDD bays so you can fit enough storage for your needs.

    The biggest internal-HDD drive size available online right now are 24TB drives (though they cost a lot too currently).
    For 110TB, getting an 8-bay NAS/DAS and at least x7 20TB drives seems reasonable (x7 if you're going to use RAID5 since RAID5 makes you lose 1 drive's worth of space to parity).
