Boy, we get no respect.

My company is currently working on exactly what you are asking for to be
manufactured by C Ltd. (formerly CardCo).  What it is is a SCSI card that
attaches to the side of the Amiga (AND PASSES THE BUS!!!), a SCSI controller -
hard disk -  power-supply combination all for retail of $995.  As with all
C Ltd. products you will only be able to buy it from your local dealer. It
should be available in quantity in 6 to 8 weeks.  If pressured the folks at
C Ltd. will probably offer the SCSI board alone for a semi-reasonable cost.
The board will also be available in a ZORRO board version to be shipped
shortly after the C Ltd. Expansion Box ships.

Once again...
