    Hi Steve,

     

    NTFS has a volume limit of 16 TB minus 4KB when a 4KB cluster size is used.  This information comes from Microsoft's doc: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc773268%28WS.10%29.aspx.

    SFW supports volume sizes that match the largest volume sizes supported by NTFS.

    Thanks,

    Wally

Steve,

If you can find the technote again, we can review it and make any necessary modifications that are necessary (including having it pulled from the knowledge base).

Thank you,

Daniel
