I bought a 320mb IBM SCSI HD. It has an apple logo on it and it is quiet. 1$ at the pawn shop. Much quieter than the monstrous 7200rpm 1gb Seagate HD in my quadra!

Nice. Sub-1GB SCSI drives in good working condition aren't so easy to get now

Anyone know where to get them new these days?

No clue. They dont make them anymore below 4gb.

Getting them new will be essentially impossible for anything under 36GB short of incredible luck, they just aren't made smaller any more. For smaller SCSI drives you can readily find some lightly-moderately used drives on eBay. Be sure to check out the model number(s) though. The early revisions of SCSI drive families have a tendency for being very loud and hot.
