a3000 hard drive options

The scsi drive in the 3000 I picked up is bad.  What replacement options are there being these are so old?

Could I get this: http://a4000t.com/store/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=68&products_id=184
 
Then search for a 4GB card later?  Is that the largest size?
 
My drive went from formating errors and bad sectors to now not showing at all.  Is it possible my built in controller went bad?

Any reason not to get that with this CF with it? http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820208339

Thanks all, I ordered just the reader and the transcend.  I will report back next weekend once they are installed.

Wow Mech thanks for the direct reply.  I just ordered and now wish to change up to the one with the PCMCIA for a temp solution till I reinstall my battery.  Can I paypal you the difference?

Oh man. I've got to pull out my amiga and pop one of those in it. I remeber paying $100 bucks for a used 1gig scsi hard drive. Today I bought a 32gb usb thumb drive for 40 bucks. It's insane. The bad part is the 1gig drive was a steal it was almost 1000 dollars new.

Coldfire - which thumbdrive and where?  I need to upgrade one of these days.  Is it fast?

Just a quick follow on.  Mech's drive worked flawlessly!  Perfect product, quick response to email, fast ship, A+++.
