I remember, but I recall it being for defrags (plus good drive use measures). I'm moving to a new Exchange server in a couple weeks but I will be using 2x as a bare minimum.

For example. If my exchange dbs are on my e: drive and the exchange dbs are approximately 20gb, then i should make sure i have at least a 50gb e: drive to accommodate for space neccessary if I performed a complete exchange restore. Does this ring a bell or am I thinking of something else?
