Application Memory per User 130 Users 500 Users
Name (MBytes) Total MBytes Total MBytes

DHCP 2.5 3 3
DNS 16.0 16 16
Samba (nmbd) 16.0 16 16

Basic OS 256.0 256 256

Total: 1043 MBytes 2539 MBytes

*Example 3.2. Estimation of Disk Storage Requirements*
Corporate Data: 100 MBytes/user per year
Email Storage: 500 MBytes/user per year
Applications: 5000 MBytes
Safety Buffer: At least 50%
Given 500 Users and 2 years:
-----------------------------
Corporate Data: 2 x 100 x 500 = 100000 MBytes = 100 GBytes
Email Storage: 2 x 500 x 500 = 500000 MBytes = 500 GBytes
Applications: 5000 MBytes = 5 GBytes
----------------------------
Total: 605 GBytes
Add 50% buffer 303 GBytes
Recommended Storage: 908 GBytes
Hope these are useful.
