I regularly get mail from www.hardrives.com and sometimes they have some
good deals in their scratch and ding section (all tested,  pulls,
tradeins, discontinuesd stuff)

for example
Seagate ST-446452W


	47GB, 5400RPM 
	68 pin Ultra Wide SCSI 
	13ms 
	5.25" x 3.2" 
	Unused 
	$ 660.00 each 
	5 year warranty (DDS) 
	Large quantities available 
	External models are available

their regular prices are reasonable, not great, but they do seem to have
big stuff like this in the scratch and ding section quite often.

I have never bought from them, but know people that have, no negative
reports that I know of.
