If you are the DBA I would ask why did they buy 50TB of storage. I know storage is getting cheaper but to go out and purchase 50TB of storage that you cannot immediately figure out where it needs to go...tells me they could have spent their money on better things.

Yes. I mean, if you don't need 50tb of data, how on earth can you just magically supply 50tb worth of usage. That's pretty backwards.

It's not such a bad problem to have, though!
