Excellent!

Sounds good.

I do think we need to hold firm on the 500 GB minimum.  It's not so much
that a 320 GB node would pose a serious problem, but if we let you "cheat",
what about the next guy who says he can manage 250?  To be fair, we really
need to draw a line and hold to it, and 500 GB is where we've drawn it.
