I need to get a SCSI-2 hard drive for a server i'm building. Somewhere in the 9 GB range. Thing is this server is going to be running all 3 of my web sites for a time, so I need a drive that is going to be pretty reliable. Not some drive off ebay that could have fallen off the table for all I know, so they decided to sell it. But I still don't wanna spend a SCSI-Fortune. And I know about my IDE options, I plan on adding an IDE card for mass storage, but I still want/need a smaller SCSI drive for my OS (X) and web sites.

Depending on how much serving your web server will be doing, a fast IDE drive on a fast ATA-100 or ATA-133 adapter should suit you fine, and at a good cost.
Otherwise I would look for the usual suspects, IBM, Segate etc...
