    Need some recommendation on sizing of tempdb files for the following specs:

    •Two SAN drives - 400gb each have been assigned for the tempdb files.

    •8 Intel XEON core process – E7- 8870

    •10 databases

    •Big database size is approximately 581 gb.

    Not enough information.

    How much TempDB space does the application that uses those databases require? That's the minimum that TempDB should be.
