Microsoft does have some recommendations on the size of the Exchange  
database that you may want to keep in mind:

"Microsoft recommends that information store databases grow no larger  
than 50 GB. Assuming proper maintenance, there are no operational  
issues with running mailbox stores larger than 50 GB; however, backup  
and restore times may make larger mailbox stores unsuitable for some  
service level agreements (SLAs)."
