I need to set it up when I'm back at my PC, and just let it eat, I'm down to give it like 500gb and see how much it keeps

You select a time period in minutes as input. It'll spit out how much storage it'll take up based on that + the selected quality (bitrate). I have selected 240 minutes and 24mb/s (highest available bitrate at this time), and the estimate it gave me was 40-45 ish gigs.

Edit: based on the OP screenshot, 60 min at 24mbs takes up 10.8gb:

60/10.8*500/60 ≈ 46.3 hours, nearly 2 days @ 500gb max storage.
