1TB is 2.276 hours at 1Gb/s

If he's got a gigabit of traffic, he's going to be adding another shelf of 12 1T
drives to that NAS - every day.  If he gets the high-density shelves with 60 drives,
he's only adding one a week.

He's going to have to work smarter, not harder.

He did indicate he's only storing the headers and a few bytes, not the full payload.
