Server 2008 Largest Volume Size


Recommended Posts

Hello,

 

I am wondering if the 2TB limit for volumes which exists for 2003 is

still the limit for Server 2008? I would like to create a 4TB

volume.

Is there a difference in maximum volume size for 64 vs. 32?

 

Thanks!

This is a limit of the MBR. You will have to use GPT partitioning to get a 4

TB partition.

You'll be bleeding edge so expect problems.
