I've been running one of the new little IBM (boy that was hard to type
for only three characters ;-))  500MB $99 SCSI drives that's been
doing well for a few months anyway.  Price is hard to beat at $200/GB
if you don't need a lot of room (or have room for several).  

I see they've got a 2GB drive out for $400 which is the same bang for
the buck if it works.
