Site Collection Design - Capacity Planning

=Capacity Planning =

Currently Microsoft recommend that maximum storage capacity of a SharePoint 2010 site collection is limited to 100-200Gb. Further it is recommended that site collections should be kept below 100Gb to facilitate database migration across SAN Storage. This is the total storage that any one site collection can have assigned to it. This storage capacity limit should be taken into account when designing a site collection. A good understanding of the user groups storage requirements and future requirements should be considered. For users who may have heavy storage requirements you may need to consider a solution that is made up of multiple site collections.
