BIG. NTFS supports files up to 263 bytes in size. NTFS Volumes can be up to 263 clusters and each cluster can be up to 64KiB long. This gives NTFS an upper limit of approximately 500 trillion gigabytes.

NTFS is a 64 bit filesystem and in theory its limits are fairly big, however the Microsoft implementation limits file size to 16 TB, volume size to 256 TB and the number of files to 4 billions.
