Hello. I am in the process of creating an Indy Dev. Studio. (For those of you who have read my other posts, sorry that I repeat this so much) My question is how many terabytes can Windows 10 Home support? I plan on using 7X 10 Terabyte HDDs with a Core i7-6950X, an Asus Rampage V Edition 10, and 128GB of DDR4 3200 MHz Ram. Will this work, or will Windows not see/recognize any storage past a certain size?. Thank you for your time.

The size limit is usually referenced in terms of a single volume. Ie, how large a single drive can be which is limited by addressing space. The number of connected drives is a completely separate thing, but you're nowhere even close to worrying about that. Unless you're running a 32 bit OS (and I can't imagine you are) then there's no issues with 10 TB drives, or having 7 connected. After 20 or so it can get complicated due to drive letter assignments, but you can still mount them as folders manually.

NTFS volumes can be up to 2TB on an MBR disk and 16 Exabytes (EB) on GPT disks. ReFS supports volumes up to 262,144 Exabytes. It's a matter of what the filesystem supports.
