Here is a table of volumes of the different data types that pass through our 
servers that are applicable to your needs:



Maximum hourly volume  29778.367 M bytes/hour
Average hourly volume  21051.052 M bytes/hour

Average products per hour     353660 prods/hour

Feed                           Average             Maximum     Products
                     (M byte/hour)            (M byte/hour)   number/hour
NEXRAD2                7253.188    [ 34.455%]    11052.412    78595.311
NGRID                  4275.820    [ 20.312%]     7062.578    32031.378
CONDUIT                2903.117    [ 13.791%]     6363.288    60640.067
NEXRAD3                2334.075    [ 11.088%]     3259.140   105971.133
HDS                     375.824    [  1.785%]      671.153    19556.178
NOTHER                  263.958    [  1.254%]      823.951     1313.089
NIMAGE                  170.501    [  0.810%]      266.179      195.089
IDS|DDPLUS               59.937    [  0.285%]       80.788    43828.933
UNIWISC                  39.441    [  0.187%]      106.139       19.556

NEXRAD2 and NEXRAD3 are RADAR data and products (2 and 3 respectively) not sure 
if you wanted those or not?
CONDUIT is hi-res model output from NCEP
NGRID is model output from NCEP
HDS is the rest of the NCEP model output
NIMAGE is satellite imagery
IDS|DDPLUS are surface obs and soundings
UNIWISC is additional satellite imagery


....hopefully this will give you an idea for expected volumes.


This data was gleaned from:

http://rtstats.unidata.ucar.edu/cgi-bin/rtstats/rtstats_summary_volume?uni14.unidata.ucar.edu
> 2) We would likely need to keep at most three months of data at a time.
