Hi Maaz,

The maximum is huge - here is a link with more detail:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NTFS

Here is a specific quote from the above link:

"Because partition tables on master boot record (MBR) disks only support partition sizes up to 2 TiB, you must use dynamic volumes to create NTFS volumes over 2 TiB."
