It appears to me that there are now numerous options for brand new SCSI 
SSDs (well SCSI to SD protocol converters).  Their compatibility is 
probably not perfect.  There are also new SCSI Ethernet adapters.  These 
things aren't at the level of performance and capability that I'd like, 
but they are heading in interesting directions, and I hope they will get 
there.  I wish I had the time to dedicate to working on that sort of 
hardware.

There certainly aren't much in the way of options for brand new SCSI 
spinning hard drives.  Nor SCSI optical drives.  Personally, I'm not 
overly bummed as I'm much rather various SSD options over spinning rust, 
and I mostly only use optical drives for ripping their content.  I am 
not trying to make a SS20 be my main file server hosting a 40TB file 
system, although that would be cool, and I kinda would like to try it.
