[vdr] Disk suggestions?



Sorry for the bothering question!

I'm going to buy hard drive(s) for VDR recordings (personal use):
does anyone want to give me suggestion about the system (RAID(0,1,0+1),
SCSI...), individual disk's size (80GB or more?), filesystem to use?

I was thinking about 200GB, but, in the case of RAID, I should use some
disks of the same size and get them once for all, instead I'd like to
get only 1 disk now and other later, but, if I'm right, a once you write
on a RAID you can't add disk(s) without loosing old data.

About the filesystem:
I'd like it would be accessible also from windoze, but vfat is very bad
for large amount of data; I don't know if there is any tool to read ext3
or whatever from windoze.

Thank you all
