I disagree.
Your storage vendor can certainly be relied on to give you
an accurate prediction of your storage requirements for the
next 5 years or so.

coin
toss, tea leaves, position of the stars or entrails of Oracle
sales people
as the next best methods.
The only reliable extrapolation is linear approximation, based
on historical
data. Even this gives you only short time reliability.
Everything else is BS.
