I Have a Doubt Regarding "Crunch" in Kali Linux

I am actually new to ethical hacking. So, Crunch generates a wordlist to crack .cap files to obtain the Wi-Fi Password. Let as assume that I have alloted 25GB of storage to Kali Linux and I am using crunch to generate a wordlist of all possible 8 characters, which includes uppercase and lowercase characters, numbers and special characters. So Crunch generates some data like this

Crunch will now generate the following amount of data: 40217742840692736 bytes

38354628411 MB

37455691 GB

36577 TB

35 PB

Crunch will now generate the following number of lines: 3656158440062976

So after proceeding, will Crunch generate a wordlist file of size 35PB? And since I have 25GB storage in my Kali Linux, will the system crash? Also is there any possible way to crack such password with combination of many characters without generating 35PB of wordlist file? And also please reply whether we can crack the .cap file without generating a wordlist (other ways of cracking .cap files).
