(1) to customer "I'm going to temporarily move these older files to a NAS..It will take a few hours"
(2) in the meantime, I suggest you migrate to a larger server/storage solution
(3) one weekend, we're going to migrate everything to that one
I get that he wants to view all things at all times, but that isn't whats happening here...You can move the things he isn't using..He isn't using all 500 Gbs at the same time..

Grammar, just to answer your points.
If they had come to us 3 months ago saying their storage was getting low, then we would have begun the diskXtender project to utilize their SAN for extra storage space. I was brought into this 2 weeks after they had been dead in the water. Doc see's this as our issue instead of a normal IT issue that IT can take care of with appropriate planning.
As far as him not using all that data at once, that is an absolute certainty. He is making this a requirement because he is tough on vendors.
I still am going to push them to go with the "temporarily cut and paste 500 gigs of images" to a secondary drive and try to use reasoning to let them understand the risk of the other "immediate" solutions.
Final point on migrating to a different server, they are on an older version of our software and if we provide a new server for them it will only come in a much newer version which is not compatible so an even larger headache is in store.
A little to late to tell them "planning is key" i guess.
