I have a better question.

what if you go through all of this trouble and still need more space?

let say you know what you are doing, and before putting the request for new drive(s) to add you went through all the hoopla of cleaning the basement 🙂 and attic, and a kitchen sink. and yet still need more space.

Yet you are told by your CFO etc. that no way you have a budget. than what?
