I have 2 tuners and plan on getting a 3rd soon. Is it safe to say that aroud 100 gigs per tuner is a good amount?

I used to think my approx 350GB for SageTV were quite a bit... nowhere near 3500GB!

As for how much you need... that depends on how much TV you watch, what quality recording level you decide to use (I use 3GB/hr), and whether you want to keep old shows around for future use w/o saving them to DVD...

Oh yeah... I hit the 1000 post mark... I need to get a real life!

Hey well, when you have a boat load of tuners you need someplace to put the files

2 tuners and 250GB. That space is used for recording and MP3s currently but I'll probably move the MP3s (the import directory) to a separate drive later.

Andy.

I've got 400 gig for video recording and 160 gig for music.

This is the reason I set up a seperate Media Server. As we all know, hard drives keep getting bigger and prices keep dropping. Having a seperate machine that does nothing but stores media files makes swapping out and upgrading as painless as possible.

A media server with 2 tuners and a single 250GB data drive. About 60GB is used for MP3 files. The rest is for Sage. I also have a bit of dynamic floating space on the network for Sage to use if the main area runs out. It varies between 30 and 90 GB.

I find I run out quite a bit and Sage deletes things for me. So occaisonally I go in and do some manual cleaning.
