I think the current limit is about 2TB given a 512 byte sector. Larger sector sizes would of course push the limit higher. I know that we now commonly see RAID running in the 1TB-10TB range. Depending on the nature of the solution for these boxes, the problem may have already been solved.

Subject: 48-bit address implications on partition table
Dear Mr. Mclean,
I have a forensics-related business and I would like to know if there
already is some defined standard about a partition table that handles
partition initial LBA address on 48-bit format, since the tradition
partition table handles only 32-bit adresses. ATA-6 is already available and
I guess that there must be some HDD manufacturer about to lauch some model
over 137GB. So, it is a kind of urgent matter.
I very thank you for any help.
Sincerily,
