Yes, that would be a lot of data.
I have about 13k slides to scan, now using an LS-5000. I save the raw
data because I am not really happy with the color, dynamic range, and IR
cleaning.
By saving the raw data my hope is that some day when I'm better at
postprocessing and have better algorithms to use I'll be able to come up
with images I'm happier with. The raw scans (including the IR data,
since that's something I really want to be able to do better some day)
are 180MB, so it adds up, but with the amount of time I have to devote
to the process it's taking long enough that disk technology is keeping
up with me: I've been at it for more than a year now and have all of
2000 slides scanned, which fit on a 400GB drive. At least I think I
have the slide feeder jamming down to <once/batch (now there's something
to bash Nikon about!)

John,
After you are done make sure you store your DVDs or CD-Rs properly. They
will not last if you have stored them improperly.
