It sure is. I am still looking to deploy a striped RAID for my storage
space, though, since I want to be able to capture DV, feed (up to) three
DV streams out over network, and still be able to look at stuff on the
drive.
So, it's worth remembering that the capture alone isn't *all* that gets
done, and that you really start to add up those costs where you factor
in the seek overheads as well...
