One of the things I learned early in the PC days was that every hardware advance to increase resources to help software performance was always followed by “enhancements” to the software that took every bit of new resource and begged for more.

One of my favorites was MS Exchange 2010 that decided you should assign as much space to each node of a cluster (i.e. duplicate space) rather than share the same SAN space on both nodes as earlier Exchange clusters did.   Why “Because disk storage has gotten cheap”.
