There are 40TB drives, you just can't buy them and they are not yet being mass produced. (https://www.techradar.com/pro/seagate-confirms-40tb-hard-drives-have-already-been-shipped-but-dont-expect-them-to-go-on-sale-till-2026)

Biggest you can buy as far as I know would be 36TB, but it's SMR and not sure if it is available to consumers (https://www.seagate.com/products/enterprise-drives/exos/exos-m/)

If you are willing to pay quite a bit more you can get SSDs in even larger capacities, for example these here in 245,76TB (https://americas.kioxia.com/en-us/business/news/2025/ssd-20250721-1.html)
