How much Hard drive do you think I will need

[grendel54]

I ordered a new NVR from Andy. I am trying to calculate how much hard drive space I will need to keep 30 days worth of recordings. Currently cameras are in a parking garage recording a 30 second clip from 13 1080p camera's motion. It is not a high traffic parking garage but there is a bank attached. Normal traffic is from 9a-5p Mon-Fri. I dont want to end up with too much unused space. any guesses?

Somebody might do the math for you, but just interpolating from my system with 15 cameras at 10 fps, my shoot-from-the-hip WAG is 40 GB.
