I need 3 drives for my toaster flyer.
 
Any recommendations?

I have drives that are from a flyer system. You can PM me if interested! You want special a/v rated drives.

A few months ago I purchased three of these:

ST336607LW Seagate Cheetah 10K.6 Hard Drive

They are on Amazon for $92 USD. Expensive for the size these days, but these absolutely work on my Video Toaster Flyer system.

I now see some cheaper and larger Seagate SCSI HDs on Amazon, but I have no idea if they work with the Flyer. If you try something else and it works, let me know -- especially if it's cheaper!

By about 2000 or so, pretty much any SCSI drive would keep up just fine.  The later 7200 IDE drives with SCSI adapters even worked.  Technology improved a lot in that ten year range.

Earlier than that and I'd get Cheetahs or at least Barracudas.  Seagates from that era were about the best ones to use in my experience.

BTW, the audio drive can be pretty much anything, they aren't picky.
