In fact, I just bought an IBM 22G 7200 RPM IDE drive for $419 a week ago.
With no compression, that's about 28 discs at 148x peak (not sure about
average).  Now use MPEG 2 Layer 3 audio, and you have the equivalent of
about 336 discs at >1700x peak.

If capacity is more important to you than performance, the IBM 25G 5400 RPM
drive is available for about the same price.

I plan to put one of these in my car as part of a Linux-based sound system.
Anyone have good ideas about shock-mounting?  :-)

Naturally I'll use a pair of PICs in the remote control system.
