Amazing, isn't it? When I worked for a major police dept in the '90s, we built our own servers out of towers, including SCSI RAID. I would probably laugh my butt off if I now recalled how much space those had, or didn't, back then.
I remember we had a problem at one time with this one server repeatedly crashing. Turned out we put the print spool on the C:, which also had the OS page file, and this twit was sending multiple multi-gig print jobs rather than just telling the program to print X copies. The print queue would fill the disk, then when the page file needed to expand a little, the OS would lock up and crash the server. We had stern words with the twit and relocated the print spool to a different drive.
