Yes indeed, back in the day (when I was all about SCSI) they were about 3x the price of regular ones, so indeed they aren't 'expensive' but just 'more expensive'.
I actually corrected it right away but you posted faster than your shadow :-)
Furthermore, as today SCSI is mostly gone, I guess they can occasionally be found dirt-cheap as stock surplus or whatever - the culprit (most often) being with the seller unable to distinguish between passive and terminated ones.
Right, these adapters and bloody S-Video to composite adapters, as well. Flushed $20 on 10 of them only to find they're completely wire-through. (That's a whole other thread and topic, though.)
If you want a good laugh, and some reputable outlets are guilty of this shyt, too, go look up things like USB-to-Firewire or HDMI-to-component adapters. Read the small print and you'll find these are completely wired-through, not a circuit in the mix to do any actual conversion.
Back on topic, yes, I found that both Segate and IBM LVD-SCSI drives are great in whatever system you throw them in. Most of the time even if you don't set the jumper for SE they'll still work just fine. That's a big bonus for those who don't know any better (hey, we all start somewhere!) and those who just start over-looking simple things (hey, we all end up somewhere!)
