For SQL Server 6.5, 1 TB (32 devices of 32 GB each, max) in a single database, and no more than 8 TB total for a single server instance (256 devices of 32 GB each, max.)
The killer limit for me is the 1,962 bytes per row limit (excluding text and image fields.) That's absurdly confining.
I expect SQL Server 7.0 will raise the absolute limits further.
