Actually, the 2.5" SCSI prices you have found so far are comparitively cheap!
These are a dying breed, due to the fact that notebook manufacturers want
both the cheapest drives, and the lowest power consumption. As SCSI drives
use a lot more juice than IDE, they are not popular. Even Apple went IDE in
its Powerbooks.
