Ex-server used SCSI HDDs seem to go cheaply on Ebay because the usual
used HDD customer base can't interface with them. Could be handy if
you want to set up a networked storage box with RAID for redundancy, or
something like that.

If you haven't delt with it before, make sure to read up on standards,
rules for terminating, etc. Adapters are available cheaply from Chinese
ebay sellers.

Beyond HDDs, I don't think much has used SCSI in (relatively) recent
times.
