nice articlewe have a 2TB database we're going to be moving to new hardware soon ... but there is no way to test it since we don't have 2TB of empty space anywhere
Hello Alen and thanks. I am surprised that you cannot find 2 TB of available space given that I keep hearing how "disk is cheap" ;-). Good luck!
Take care,
Solomon...
its finding 2TB of usable space after you create separate RAID1 volumes for all the partitions, logs and tempdb
$7500 or so to buy the disk and jbod for a soon to be free server
$8000 to buy a new server with just enough disk
