Indexing 20gb data

Hello Members,
We have a requirement to come up with a hardware solution for indexing a relatively small ammount of data.
20 GB per day. I seen considerable documention on the Splunk forum and site. Most infomation is oriented towards
larger amounts of data - I would assume that our disk subsystem run run an less that 800 IOPS.

For reference we would have less than 4 users so we could run a combined instance. Memory would be from 32GB to maybe 128GB, and we should have 8 to 12 cores and 64 bit > 2GHz.

(yes we could virtualize this deployment).

I am open for tips and suggestions,

Splunk guidance is clear here. It doesn't really depend on data velocity: MINIMUM of 800 IOPS:

Exellent link - would like more guidance on disk subsystem for 20gb/per day data, IOPS, etc.
Thanks again
