Please reference some drives/vendors for a decent SCSI drive at prices
similar to what you gave... I've not been able to find anything but
Travan drives at reasonable prices, and the media for them are priced
outrageously ($25-30 each which easily negates the lower price of the
drives by the time you buy enough media to be useful).
Thanks!
