Just out of curiosity, where would you get HP 300 GB 15K RPM "universal hot swap" drives from, and what do they cost these days? I see on eBay one listing for US$350/drive.
Adam is right, you can get pretty much any SCSI drive as long as it's the correct connector (ie: SCA vs 68-pin). I can order in many different brands/models if you ever want some pricing.
I actually just bought another 15krpm 68-pin for my main box and was surprised how cheap SCSI has become (compared to 5 years ago).
I've been quite happy with Fujitsu SCSI drives over the last 10 years, even though I've learned to loathe their IDE stuff. They usually are the cheapest, too.
