I'm willing to by used !! There are a variety of X (SE, LVD, etc.) to HVD converters here: http://www.scsi-cables.com/converters.htm You can probably just get a normal RAID controller and a converter or two and run things that way. The problem is that the cheapest option (SE to HVD) is $350. If there are any used HVD RAID controllers out there, you can likely get them for cheaper than that. You can also just run software RAID-10. It'll almost certainly go faster than a hardware RAID controller.
