Like all applications, SharePoint has its limits. If you are thinking about using SharePoint to manage your records, you should know what its limits are.
For the most part, if you are using SharePoint Records Center out of the box and haven’t made any big changes, normal SharePoint limits will apply to your records repository. There are a lot of places out there that provide descriptions of these limits, but here’s one I’ve used in the past and I think it’s pretty good:

It’s worth noting that these limits are not written in stone. They are really based on practical performance issues, rather than the notion that ‘a record library shuts down after you add the 2,000,001st record’.
