storage limit on windows 2012

Nowadays storage is getting much bigger day after day, when you represent LUNs to windows server 2012 and exceeds 2 TB you can't initialize disk as MBR. The limit in windows 2012 for MBR is 2 TB.

The only option you have is to initialize disk as GPT which can take up to 16 EB!

  • 1024MB = 1GB (gigabyte)
  • 1024GB = 1TB (terabyte)
  • 1024TB = 1PB (petabyte)
  • 1024PB = 1EB (exabyte)
