Datastore cluster maximum 6.7???

Is there a maximum number of data stores you can combine in a single datastore cluster (vSphere 6.7)? Or a maximum total size of a datastore cluster? I see in this older article it states the below for vSphere 5. But I can't find anything definitive on 6.7. http://buildvirtual.net/configuring-datastore-clusters-and-sdrs-on-vsphere-5/ There is a maximum of 32 datastores per datastore cluster. Thanks

You can find the maximums at https://configmax.vmware.com/ (vSphere 6.7 -> vCenter Server Maximums -> Storage DRS)

For vSphere 6.7, the maximum for "Datastores per datastore cluster" is 64

Thank you...Since the max common VMFS volume size is 64TB. Could a datastore cluster contain 64 datastores each one being 64TB is size?

I'd guess that this is the case.
