Is this possible to already reserve 2 TB of space on a data drive for one database

Is this possible to already reserve 2 TB of space on a data drive for one database.
Please suggest how to do this.
Best regards,
Vishal

You can either change the current filesize of current files in your database or add new file(s) whose current size is 2TB by using the ALTER DATABASE command.  If you don't have instant file initialization, adding 2TB to data files can take a long time. 
If you are adding 2TB to log files that can take a long time whether you have instant file initialization or not.  For info on instant file initialization see

In addition, there are several good links in the comments to Tibor's blog entry, especially the links to Paul Randal's blog.
