I refer this... http://www.smbitjournal.com/2012/10/you-arent-gonna-need-it/ It's important to figure out where the line is between planning for a little growth and flat out over provisioning. It's a combination of the cone of uncertainty combined with early investment. Even if you knew 100% that you'd need twice as much capacity in five years, still wouldn't make sense to buy it today. Right. But if I'm already using 1.9 of 2TB of storage, it would make more sense to upgrade to 3TB or 4TB rather than make a huge jump to 9TB or 12 TB just because we predict that kind of growth even 3 years out. Can't answer that without looking at cost differences, projected growth, etc.

      https://www.scalecomputing.com/case_studies/toccoa-falls/ Toccoa Falls College (TFC) is a Christian educational institution that prepares its 800+ students for vocational and professional occupations. TFC offers 28 majors and 38 minors within three schools that include both on-campus and online courses. With the 4th largest incoming class in the history of the college (276 incoming freshman and transfers), the college was in need of a refresh to their virtualization infrastructure to support the growth in students as well as a plan to double the number of virtualized desktops in the coming years. The public web server along with approximately 20 other mostly Windows-based Virtual Machines (VMs) were running on 3 VMware hosts with an HP SAN acting as shared storage. The hosts were maxed out on compute and RAM capacity and would either need to be replaced or added to with an additional host. The SAN had long been an IO bottleneck in the infrastructure, and with a virtual desktop (desktop virtualization) initiative in pilot already, it was necessary to start refreshing their infrastructure.
