RE: Limits on some object sizes <= 16M -- MI400

× The internal search function is temporarily non-functional. The current search engine is no longer viable and we are researching alternatives.
As a stop gap measure, we are using Google's custom search engine service.
If you know of an easy to use, open source, search engine ... please contact support@midrange.com.

Rule of thumb: every factor of 1000 takes 10 bits.  Terabyte is
1,000,000,000,000, or four factors of 1000, so requires roughly 40 bits.  A
48-bit address space will support a terabyte with a few bits left over.
