They are less than two thirds of the price of the Atlas here in Norway. I have two of them, and are very happy with price and performance so far. At least here in Norway SCSI is definitely more expensive than IDE (about 30% more). I tend to stick with SCSI because I regard the technology as much better than IDE.
