I am saving to a drive that's mapped on my company's network. My laptop has 32 GB RAM and 2.10 Ghz I7. There's maybe 30 different boundaries but I figured the mesh file size would be dependent on the total cells and not the number of boundaries. I was nervous about how big the file is and I don't even have boundary layer meshing enabled.

The surface mesh took about 4 hrs to mesh and the volume mesh only took 15 minutes which shocked me at how quick the volume mesh was.
