Yes, that would be a lot of data.
I have about 13k slides to scan, now using an LS-5000. I save the raw data
because I am not really happy with the color, dynamic range, and IR cleaning.
By saving the raw data my hope is that some day when I'm better at
postprocessing and have better algorithms to use I'll be able to come up with
images I'm happier with. The raw scans (including the IR data, since that's
something I really want to be able to do better some day) are 180MB, so it adds
up, but with the amount of time I have to devote to the process it's taking
long enough that disk technology is keeping up with me: I've been at it for
more than a year now and have all of 2000 slides scanned, which fit on a 400GB
drive. At least I think I have the slide feeder jamming down to <once/batch
(now there's something to bash Nikon about!)
