Parkinson's Law of Data: "Data expands to fill the space available for storage"

Most frequent use: Justifying quotas on NAS/SAN devices. People retain more stuff when they think a shared drive has 500GB free than they do when they see 2TB free.

Interesting that means people don't read the unit of measurement, just the number 500>2.

I like to refer to Parkinson’s law as Boyle’s law for our behavior, too
