Looking at a minimum of 9 terabytes when fully expanded.  Found a unit
capable of 18 or 9 with raid.  Available to start with 3 and all drives are
hot swappable.  Comes with 8 licenses and capable of 128.  Set it up with
its own switch and good to go.  Can process upto 280 Mps internally so it
can handle the load.  Need to plan all 10/100/1000 hardware though.
