Do they have to be SCSI-2? EIDE drives have a pretty high transfer rate now. 
My 1.27G EIDE drive only cost 149gbp+vat. If it must be SCSI(-2,-3, fast, 
wide, whatever) why not get 2*2.0G or 4*1.0G and use some RAID software to 
produce a super-duper high bandwidth system. SCSI sounds over the top for this
purpose. Why not consider one of those new generation of re-writable optical 
drives? 650MB per disk.
