Are you using volumes > 2 TB?
In general killing a move is the last think you want to do.

The server bandwidth is easy to figure - the contents of the volume are
much harder (impossible) to calculate - although you can also make some
guesses based on the number of files in the volume.  For "normal"
volumes we generally appromimate 200 GB/hr -

however for volumes with tens of millions of small files it will
be significantly slower -

another thing that will throw your estimate off 25 - 30%
is the the hardware being used.
e.g. solaris zfs vs linux with a good raid controller.
