I picked up a couple of SCA drives off of eBay last year when someone was selling off a bunch of 4 gig drives from SUN systems. I put one in the bottom drive bay on my PM7500. It's a tight fit, the drive runs on the hot side, and I did have to be careful with the adapter when I put the drive in. As for reliability, its been puttering along for some time now.
