While there is no practical limit to object sizes (the ScaleOut service allows individual objects up to 1GB), network bandwidth and access patterns will determine the maximum size that your environment can handle. Realistically, it takes about 15 seconds to move a 1GB object over gigabit Ethernet.
The ScaleOut Best Practices document (
DEP-3) goes into more detail about network capacity and offers a formula that can be used to determine the bandwidth required for your object sizes and access patterns.
