This limitation is a 32-bit address space, which translates to a maximum disk size of 2 TiB.

Neither CHS nor LBA can support partition sizes that exceed 2 TiB.

The 32-bit limit allows for 2 x 512 bytes, resulting in this 2 TiB cap.

The reason an MBR disk cannot exceed 2 TiB is due to this 32-bit constraint.
