Hello @Margarita Uk,

Welcome to Atlassian Community!

It is rather a subjective question as it is dependent on the usage and purpose of the database. Even then, it should be possible to allocate additional disk space for the database at a later time. 

If the database is going to be used for a JIRA Server instance, you may refer to JIRA Sizing Guide. Depending on the instance size, it should give you an idea of the recommended disk space size required.


Kind regards,
Irfan
