"Not only could this create an ediscovery nightmare, but to me it's just bad policy to store that much business information in a personal drive space."

In our case we have network home drives that we can already search if needed for ediscovery.  However, we limit the amount of space that people have and are developing a policy for them to request additional space.  I think my issue was that 1 TB of space for each employee is way too much for a personal drive.  And yes, we have people that are using C: drives, flash drives, external hard drives, etc. but we are also trying to get a handle on those devices and at least create a policy around their usage (being able to enforce that policy is another issue).  I think it is a training and compliance awareness issue that just hasn't been highlighted over the years.
