If you've plenty of spare RAM (and at 16GB I'd suggest you probably do), 
I'd throw in the possibility of recording to RAM disk, then moving the 
calls to hard disk during your quiet (or closed) hours.

This. The 840 is a great bit of kit - we've replaced nearly all our 
spinning disks with a mix of Samsung 830 and 840 drives.
