Probably 30Gb or so in videos. The largest file/chunk of data Ive ever dealt with was at work, nearly 3TB worth of VM backups into a single file which is then picked up along with an even more massive amount of data and dumped to tape.

Which probably then failed! Based on the "greatness" of tape! The sizes are quite suprising now 1600GB for a cartridge smaller than the size of a VHS tape. If it was magnetic tape you were referring to instead of the "better" optical tape (Film in VHS and old Cameras).

I was suprised to find that photographic film is still used in the medical industry along with basic cameras for X-Ray! Exposure of the film to X-Ray means that an imprint of the bone, where the X-Ray has not touched is left in the film (like a footprint in sand or mud)

My copy of Windows 3.1 takes up 5 whole floppy disks!





Do they still work?
How much does each floppy hold? 1mb?

I was kidding. Although I bet I could find a few around the house. If I remember they hold a whopping 1.44MB!

Here's me considering that a 550mb flash drive wasn't very good!
You would need more than 100 of them floppies to hold the data that could be stored on that flash drive/if I recall, windows 7 basic operating system startup information (just the binary files from the main C:\ drive, hold 755mb!

"file" does not mean what some of you think it means.

Are you referring to the fact that a folder can be classed as a file?

Haven't checked. Though, my biggest files are probably videos which are a few hours long captured from a camera, which creates huge files. I have hard drives which are full with many smaller files though. (below 5gb)

I have to say that some of the movie files I have are the larges files I have.  These files are a pain when you try to move them or when you want to delete them.  The back up my hard drive space and they take forever to be moved or removed.  I also have a few larger picture files, but those are billboard pictures I am creating for marketing purposes.

I could create a useless 1800GB file just say that I have a file larger than you (it would fit on my external HDD). This is pretty pointless. I'm going to assume that you did a system backup that created the .vhd file. When doing this, the best results are achieved with smaller files (your system takes less time when doing restore from backup). There's no need to backup most games/movies/music like this.

I created the file manually using DISKPART as a backpu wouldn't backup the entire system, it would just backup two partitions of the disk, leaving out the important startup files that need backupping. The file is currently 80 percent created and has taken 4 hours so far to create.
If you created a 1800GB file then I would delete my 500GB file and replace it with a 4tb file, easily fitting in my hard drive with space left!

The system disk on diskpart is 475GB in size so would easily fit in the 500GB file.

Update: As I've previously said, this is pretty pointless. I doubt that you have 500gb of useful files.

What is the largest file that anyone has on this forum?

I only ask this as I want to show off my 500GB .vhd file that I just created.

Can anyone beat 500GB on a domestic personal computer or external hard drive?
