What happens if I finish the drive letters? It's just curiosity, but I have a lot of letters and it happens that I float around 20 when I have everything connected

Once you run out of drive letters Windows will force you to mount drives to a NTFS folder or mount points rather than a drive letter.
When you view a mounted drive in Windows Explorer, it appears as a drive icon in the path in which it is mounted. Because mounted drives are not subject to the 26-drive-letter limit for local drives and mapped network connections, use mounted drives when you want to gain access to more than 26 drives on your computer.
If you change the drive letter of a drive where Windows or apps are installed, apps might have trouble running or finding that drive. For this reason we suggest that you don't change the drive letter of a drive on which Windows or apps are installed.
The drive letter plays an important role in telling Windows where to look. A file in C:Users probably isn't also in D:Users. The drive letter standard, with the colon (:), dates back to before DOS. By default, in Windows (and in DOS before it), the boot drive is C:.
This image is not mspaint. I subst'ed all drives, even B:
Then, I plugged a card reader that has 4 drives. Nothing showed up! So, the answer to your question is NOTHING! You are just unable to add more. Of cource you can use volume mounting as suggested above

It depends on your operating system. Some older versions of windows supported up to 32 drives (mapped to things like [: and `:), but more recent versions do not.
On a modern Windows machine, if you require more than 26 drives, the correct solution is to use Volume Mount Points
