I have 3- 500GB drives, and I have to say that although I am getting 
close to filling that up, it's taken a couple of months.

I find it's way more TV than I can personally keep up with. That being 
said, I am thinking about setting up some sort of user transcode job for 
the recordings that I consider keepers, and reduce them down to DVD 
quality to reclaim some of my currently used space.

But then again, a lot of what is stored on the disks are things I'll 
probably never watch again, and should auto-expire (hasn't happened 
yet), so it hasn't been a priority for me.
