re: "Those 330 & 670 megabyte drives with 150,000 hour MTBF (15 years) sound
     to good to be true.  Also will a SCSI version be made available?"

The raw mechanisms are available only in embedded SCSI and embedded ESDI
versions.  The mechs should be orderable from HP distributors now, although
there may be firmware differences between the OEM/distrib versions and the
Vectra versions.  Whether you can pop any of these into older Vectras I
couldn't say, not being a PC person.
