SnapShot Limit on vSphere 6.0

Is there a limit on the total number of HDs in the Virtual Machine when i do a SnapShot in vSphere 6. ie. more than one HD.
Also is there any limitation on the size of the SnapShot on the second disk eg. If I have a VM with a second HD of  10 TB LUN - would it be possible.

Thanks for your response.  Could I save a snapshot in another datastore?
Yes, but you would have to modify the location of the working snapshot folder.

Do not use snapshots as backups.

Do not keep a VM running on a snapshot for long than two days.

and please read my EE Article
