How large does a hard drive have to be in order to be considered a "Fat" file system?

I've looked and there are only two sizes of hard drives, 3.5 inch and 2.5 inch. Both sizes appear to "NTFS," which I assume means that the hard drive is not large enough to be considered "Fat."

The physical size of the drive nor it's storage capacity determines whether it is FAT or not.
FAT and NTFS are file systems- how the drive stores information.
FAT is much older than NTFS. It cannot recognize files over 2gb in size, or drives over a certain storage capacity.
The reason all of the drives you see are NTFS is because it is the current standard for Windows-based computers.
Try looking at a computer running anything before Windows XP to see FAT formatted drives.
Today, whether a drive is FAT or NTFS is completely up to the person who formatted it.
