      Database (thing that holds and retrieves bunch of data) broke when it reached a size of 16 Terabytes because the underlying filesystem (Thing that lets you store data on a physical disk like a hard drive or SSD) has a maximum possible size of 16 Terabytes by default (ext4)

      16 TiB is roughly 16,000 Gigabytes which is roughly 16,000,000 Megabytes
