    Hi,

    I am trying to get an idea in SCCM 2012 to work out how much space will be used by a packages on a Primary Site Server.

    From what I can see it would take the following.

    If I have a simple package:

    A copy of the file in D:\SMSPKGSIG\S0100006.1...
    A tar package in D:\SMSSIG$
    An index file: D:\SCCMContentLib\DataLib\S0100006.1

    However SMSPKGSIG folder it looks like there can be multiple versions. (S0100006.1,S0100006.2 etc).

    So what I am trying to find out is some guidence on how I can calculate worst case
    how much space I need to store my packages. So even if I know say that I have
    100MB of packages I wanted to know how much storage to allow on the SMS Install drive
    to store my data.

    So any recommendations on how I can cacluate all this - even as a worst case estimate?

    Thanks,

    Ward.

    I've read that you will need 2.5x (up to 3x) the space of your source files.

    Hi,

    Thanks - I am curious do u know where you read it. I was looking and had no luck. Was there a general MS reference to it?

    That space should be reduced in 2012 as we don't have the pck files anymore however I'd say the 3x rule is still pretty good to go by.
