Summary: ST225's are *cheap*

I just purchased an ST225 (20 meg 5.25" 1/2 height) for under $300 (with
cables) at Fry's in Sunnyvale.  Ok, it's not free, but it's virtually
disposable.  If it wears out in 12-24 months, I'll replace it gladly,
and likely at a lower price (or more space).  I think $1300 for a 20meg
system is hard to tolerate.

Take an under $300 drive (retail), add a controller card and place into
an A2000 --- much more reasonable, even if it is 60ms seek time.
