Question

what is the maximum size limit for a sharepoint content database when it configured with RBS . i mean max limit for content database .mdf file and rbs san / nas folder

Answer 1

No different than if you were not using RBS. RBS data 'counts' against database size.

Answer 2

Microsoft has defined some usage scenarios and put recommended limits behind:

• 200GB for general usage scenarios
• 4TB for all usage scenarios
• No explicit limit for document archive scenarios

It is important to understand that the requirements increase, as DB-size increases.

Reference: Software boundaries and limits for SharePoint - Content database limits

RBS does not increase the storage limits of content databases. All limitations still apply to RBS-enabled content databases. RBS is intended to lower storage costs by allowing you to store large read-intensive BLOBs on less expensive drives. For example, if you have 150 GB of RBS data and you have a content database that is 70 GB, this still exceeds the recommended limits of 200GB for a general usage scenario.

Do not implement RBS just to move around 200GB limitation.
