So, Windows documentation is misleading. Because it says it can manage a
file size up to 16TeraBytes by using 64KB clusters, but it's also stated
that the max file size limit is up to the size of the volume that the file
resides. Probably the limitation of 180GB comes from the limitations of a
combination of Windows and hardware configuration.

Please take note that I'm not disputing the fact that was posted
before. I'm just posting my findings from the Microsoft web site. And,
like I said my earlier post was just quick calculations, the numbers above
come from Microsoft's website.
