I have a 12" Powerbook 1GHZ G4 with a 60gig hard drive and 768RAM. I am about to purchase the MOTU 896 and possibly the Glyph GT 103. I will be using this setup as a portable studio. Now for my question. Approximately how much space is needed for recording 8 simultaneous inputs at 192kHz for one hour?

Is there a formula for figuring out hard drive space needed for a certain amount of inputs for a certain amount of time?

Thanks for any assistance...

The slower drive on the 12" Powerbook is the main reason I plan to purchase the Glyph GT 103. It is a 1U rack with space for three hot swappable firewire drives. Expensive YES, but a great piece of equipment.

This brings up another question. Will I run into problems recording directly to an external firewire drive?
