The first link indicates max size 2040GB. Depending on the size of the virtual disk and the host operating system, VMware Workstation creates one or more files to hold each virtual disk. SCSI virtual disks can be as large as 256GB.

IDE virtual disks can be as large as 128GB. To support a larger virtual hard disk size, attach the virtual hard disk to a SCSI adapter. However, any virtual hard disk attached to the IDE controller cannot exceed 127 gigabytes (GB). The maximum size for a virtual hard disk is 2,040 gigabytes (GB). I need to expand my virtual hard disk 100GB to the maximum size.

My guest machine is Oracle Linux 5 with virtual hard disk 100GB currently. My host machine is Windows 10 with hard disk 1TB (1000GB). I am using VMware Workstation Player 12.5.
