The MagNet20x external SCSI drive from Mirror Technologies is supposed to
be quite good - it comes free with MacServe, but is still cheaper than the
Dataframe.
 
The Photon 20 from Warp 9 is another good one - it looks a lot like the
MagNet, which is a hint that both are made by the same drive company.
The advantage of the Warp 9:  price.  $795 is the cheapest I've seen for
any 20 meg drive, from anyone - including discount houses like MacConnection
and Programs Plus.
 
I don't have addresses for either, but Warp 9 is at (800)328-6795 ex. 433
And unlike what I've heard about MDIdeas, neither of these is vaporware.
