You install SharePoint Server in a three-tiered server farm that meets the minimum requirements for
SharePoint 2013 and surrounding technologies. The content databases will reside on Fibre Channel
drives in a storage area network (SAN). The backup solution will utilize SAN snapshots.
You are estimating storage requirements. You plan to migrate 6 TB of current content from file shares to
SharePoint.
You need to choose the content database size that will optimize performance, minimize administrative
overhead, and minimize the number of content databases.
Which content database size should you choose?
A.
100 GB
B.
200 GB
C.
3 TB
D.
6 TB
I have been debating, but the correct answer is C.
200GB is a recommended size for “general usage”
4TB is also a supported size for “all usage”
You can exceed 4TB, but for archive data only.
It mentions that they do not recommed you exceed 4TB but nothing with recommendations above 200GB.
