Design data just keeps growing - if only IT budgets grew at the same rate!
The problem isn't so much the cost of disk, but the infrastructure that goes around it - more servers, more tape drives and libraries, more data center space, more storage management and new backup strategies to keep within ever-decreasing backup windows. Simultaneously, designers are complaining about network load and save waiting times, quotas on their office mail and home directories, and the time it takes to restore files they need from backup tapes.
Eventually, IT administrators have to closely examine whether your current heavyweight infrastructure is worth extending every time you make an incremental storage upgrade, especially when it doesn't slow the continued chorus of complaints.
