I knew that I missed something. Let's try this again.

100,000 samples/sec * 2 byte samples = 200,000 Bytes/sec

200,000 Bytes/sec * 60 sec/min = 12,000,000 Bytes/min
12,000,000 Bytes/min * 60 min/hour = 720,000,000 Bytes/hour

that 720MB. I guess that I confused myself looking at the 720,000KB and
thinking adding 3 more zeros would make it billions. Hmmm..
