Why each option
The maximum size of a traditional VHD (Virtual Hard Disk) is 2 terabytes.
The VHD (Virtual Hard Disk) format, which is the older format for virtual disks, has a maximum size limit of 2 TB. This limit is due to the 32-bit offset length specified in the VHD format specification.
5 terabytes exceeds the 2 TB limit of the VHD format.
16 terabytes exceeds the 2 TB limit of the VHD format, although the newer VHDX format supports much larger sizes.
500GB is a possible size for a virtual hard disk but not its maximum size.
