SCSI? £500? 
Don't know where they went, but i'd pass at the price.

They where 300gb SCSI drives and as posted above where very expensive. no loss mate 
seriously. probably made a loud whine kinda noise anyway (as most drives of that speed do) dont be too gutted. Good sata drives are nearly as good anyway
oh and they where Fujitsu drives IIRC

Saying that we just bought a storage cluster that takes up a couple of cabs consisting of 96 15K SCSI drives.JBod as in 'Just a Bunch of Disks'?
SAS drives cost about the same as their FCAL and SCSI counterparts. The controllers however.... would make your eyes pop!
I recently got a high performance SAS controller and 2 cheetah 15krpm drives. That bit was easy enough (if u got the £). Getting a cable that join the 2 together is a completely different issue. If you're not using a backplane, have fun finding the right cable.... I know I am

I'm running 4x Fujitsu MAX 74GB in RAID-0 (from overclockers) and the noise is, well, the lack of noise is just fine - amazingly, quieter idle than the pair of WD360GD's in my last rig, but i think the rubber dampeners I'm using has a lot to do with that (Lian Li A16 case, with their natty HD enclosures).
We have a few Maxtor Atlas 15k's and Seagate Cheetah 15k.4's at work and they indeed have a high pitched whine - as I found during testing out of the server room, but Fujitsu MAS/MAX (same mechanics apart from the ROHS compliance) and Cheetah 15k.5's aren't bad at all.
