I'm using a Rodime 652 20MB SCSI with a Pacific Peripherals Overdrive
card in my BusExpander.  I've only had it a couple of weeks, but it seems
to be very nice, and it was only $225.  Got it from J.B. Technologies
in Chatsworth, CA.  They advertise in Computer Shopper, but if you
don't have a copy of that their number is (818) 709-6400.  They had
real good prices on other drives as well.  If you call them ask for John
and mention Bill's Boards recommended them, it probably won't get you a better
price, but they seem to be a good outfit and I'd like them to know 
we think so.  By the way the Overdrive card is working very nicely as well.
It is a SCSI/DMA controller, and will auto-boot ( with changed proms )
when 1.3 comes out.  The people at Pacific Peripherals are very responsive
and were kind enough to let us have a card for evaluation in the BusExpander.
That doesn't mean they gave us a freebie, but we can return it after the 
evaluation instead of paying for it, although I think we will buy it.
