I should be a bit more detailed. For -
Uncompressed SD video - 60 MB/s sustained. 3 to 4 IDE drives striped
will do.
Uncompressed HD video, up to 1080i - 270 MB/s sustained - 3 disk
controllers,
3 disk arrays, 15 Krpm drives.
Uncompressed HD video 1080p or 4:4:4:4 or dual-link - 360 MB/s
sustained - 4
disk controllers, 4 disk arrays, 15 Krpm drives.
Compressed SD video - mpeg2, 480P, DVpro - 20 MB/s sustained - 1 disk
controller,
7200 rpm drives, single array. 2 streams requires Uncompressed
SD bandwidth.
