I have heard that Windows NT 4 (server) is not yet scalable for Large Harddisk capacity. It uses to Dump (blue screen) and several odd things. What is the maximum size of Harddisk that is recommended . Ie is a server with 100 GB running datawarehousing still scalable in NT or should Unix be used

NTFS is good for 4Tb, but I haven't tried it in practice.

Mike, 'Scalable' in other words :
Has there been any white papers or peoples experience what is the biggest size of an NT server that is still stable. I had a friend that told me he is running SAP on Windows NT 4, service pack 4 on IBM Netfinity 7000, 4 processors 2 GB RAM and 100 GB HDD and it gives blue screen every 2 weeks. This problem was escalated to IBM, Microsoft and SAP and there has been NO SOLUTION provided. So if anyone has a white paper or any experience or article regarding the biggest HDD size that is still stable on Windows NT (ie 80 GB), it would provide me with justification to use UNIX rather than Windoiws NT which is very fragile
