158.2GB/nsd or 1.08TB/nsw
hang on a sec...that can`t be right
(((((((20/8)*60)*60)*18)*7)/1024)/1024) = 1.08TB
well roger me!
hmm...looks like I`ll be needing to build a few more file servers
* NSD = Non-shaped Day
* NSW = Non-Shaped Week

You can now get 1TB HDD's and most new mobos have 1 single EIDE connection so 2 devices.
