The 150 is more of a TV tuner, but would work with a VHS player. Commercial VHS tapes may have Macrovision protection, so that can cause problems when backing them up.

The price is good, the quality OK for an economy setup.
To do higher quality VHS backups, you need a very good VHS deck, a Time Base Corrector and a high quality capture card.
These can be very expensive.

How much space a 90 minute tape takes up on your computer depends on the capture settings.
If you capture for a DVD disc format, you should be able to get about 2 hours on a single layer DVD or about 4 Gigabytes or a bit less.
