In summary, anywhere from  22.5mb to 78mb of your disk may be used by OS 
alone.  (QSYS + Other IBM libraries + Licensed Internal Code + Temporary 
space + System internal objects).
I am sure that Robot publishes how much disk they require.  Add that to 
the above.

I'd consider getting four 70GB drives and sticking them in a raid set.  A 
three drive raid crawls like a slug.  IBM can't figure out why, it's just 
a proven fact.  Four or more drives in a raid set should be a given.
I would NOT consider any drive size less than 17GB
