It would appear that both the 2.5" SATA drive slot and the mSATA
drive slot use the same SATA controller chip, thus same drivers. So
it would likely be 144PB, (PetaByte = 1024 terabytes). See ATA-6:

Of course, the OS may limit the sizes due to partition table or file
system limitations.

Now if you are referring to physical size, the mSATA standard has
that fixed. I don't know the 2.5" SATA drive slot's maximum height.

Sorry all... I worded the question badly.
And thanks for your response, Arwen.
I was indeed speaking of drive capacity, not physical size.

Gabriel, when you say 'this', what are you referring to?
