Rockbox supports very large drive capacities when used with GPT partitioning on devices that utilize ATA storage, but due to the limitations of the FAT32 filesystem, individual paritions cannot exceed 2TiB. Additionally, there may be underlying platform limitations that make it difficult, if not impossible, utilize a drive larger than some arbitrary size or boot from a drive using GPT partitioning.

For example, the stock Apple firmware on earlier 6th generation iPod Classic models\footnote{MB029, MB145, MB147, MB150} is limited to drives no larger than 128GiB, and booting into the Apple firmware firmware with larger drive sizes will result in massive data corruption. Later 6th generation iPod Classic models\footnote{MB562, MB565, MC293, MC297} (sometimes referred to as ``7th gen'') do not have this issue. Rockbox itself will function correctly on all 6th/7th generation iPod Classi models.
