Some recent ebay shopping I did....(all US dollars)
Megaraid 1600 Elite w/128M battery backup $275 (retail for $1000+)
(aka DELL PERC/3)
Maxtor 73.4G 10K III SCA $192.50 (each retails $650+
73.4G 10K III SCA 220.00
73.4G 10K III SCA 202.50
Maxtor 36.7G 10K III SCA 83.00 (retails $300+)
36.7G 10K III 84.00
Tyan Thunder K7X S2468UGN 300.00 (retails $450+)
Considering that you can't go to BestBuy and get a 40G Maxtor IDE
drive for less than $99US (without some sort of sale), I'd say this
is pretty affordable.
All of those Maxtors(Quantum) (unlike their IDE cousins) come with 5yr.
warranties.
