    OK, so assuming that each Hard drive has A size of 16TB we have 12 Hard drives per layer and 20 layers so in total we have

    12 * 20 * 16TB = 3840 TB of storage.

    This is The same as 3840 * 1012 bytes

    In RGB a Pixel has 3 Values (Red, Green and Blue) each having a value ranging from 0 to 255, so 256 possible valuesbin total. A single byte can store numbers up to 256. This means, that storing a single pixel takes 3 Bytes.

    3840 * 1012 / 3 = 1280 * 1012 Pixels that WE can store.

    To get the maximum length of one side of the image we have to take the square root of this so

    √(1280 * 1012) = 35.777.087

    So if I didnt miscalculate this server could store a single image with the size of approximately 35.777.087 x 35.777.087 Pixels in RGB encoding.

    We also assume that no other space on the server gets used and we can utilize the full 16TB of each Hard drive. It is probably impossible to view the image, due to its size, but you could store it.
