The drive size limit is in excess of 8 Million Terabytes, so you will not be bumping up against it anytime soon.


The largest drives supported in a drive bay are the largest you can buy today -- whatever that size might be.


Very large drives may have limited screw depth in the mounting holes directly adjacent to the platters. You may need to add a washer to keep the screws from bottoming before the screws are snug against the rubber gaskets on the sled.
