About 300GB of HDD free space is required to archive 1,000 hours of datra (the required free space depends on the number and format of files to manage).
When extracting metadata from files on a cartridge, a hard disk drive with free space greater than the total size of the files from which metadata is being extracted is required. Therefore, the maxmum free space required is equivalent to the capacity of the cartridge.
