    Of course the lazy way to get an accurate avg row size, if you have the time to let it run, is using:

    EXEC sys.dm_db_index_physical_stats

    specifying 'DETAILED'.  SQL will then calc the...

    I don't know your data.  In the original q, you stated "each day of the week".  So I guessed one week.

    It shouldn't take anything remotely close to 12 hours to rebuild indexes on tables that size with that much RAM available.

    Unless maybe the table's incredibly wide.  What is the average...
