Windows storage space 63TB limitation

Question

I have a jbod of 12 drives and each one is 16TB for a total of 192TB.

I want to create a single volume of out these drives so I tried using windows storage space but it seems that it won't let me create a volume more than 63TB.

After googling it seems that this is a limit on windows 10 pro.

What are my options of overcoming this limit? Do I need to upgrade to window server or workstation or is there a way to achieve a single volume in windows 10 pro as well?

Answer 1

What size are the clusters? Looks like they'll need to be 64kb

Hi,
The volume limit is determined based on the file system and cluster size.
