4 x 73GB would be 210GB after raid 5 right? That should be good for 100 to
150 hours of recordings. I use a 160GB drive and can store over 100 hours. I
think I have a 2.5M bit rate. Unless you want to archive long term, I
wouldn't worry too much about the posts saying you will need more disk. Set
it up and see how fast you go through it. 73GB scsi drives are not cheap.
