When you count in multiple snap shots the profile for one VM tends to fall in around 35GB in size. I try to keep it balanced so there is always 100GB free on each LUN (snapshots tend to grow). 10-20GB in size with a few outliers at 70-80GB that are setup and then destroyed as soon as the issue is resolved.
