True, most 10 MB drives are in the $2000+ range.  However, I purchased the
one advertised a while back at $995 and am quite satisfied with it.
I was less than pleased with the company itself, though-- Great Lakes
Computer Peripherals took a ridiculously long time to process my order, and
when the drive finally arrived (several *months* after I ordered it) I had
to travel from Waterloo to Toronto to pick it up because the shipping order
was confused.  However, the price was extremely good and everything worked
as advertised.
Note, however, that their name and their price have changed.  The drive that
was selling for $995 is now $1495 (I suspect they had been losing money on the
lower-priced one) and is being sold through Pegasys (sic), a division of
Great Lakes Computer Peripherals.
Their driver was written by Tall Tree Systems, though it went through enough
mods on the part of GLCP that Tall Tree disavows any responsibility for the
code.  I bought Tall Tree's "Windrive" package and am planning to reconstruct
the changes GLCP made.
Anyway (to answer your question) the less expensive drives seem to work okay.
