It seems the smallest drives i can find at stores these days are 40 gigs. Anyone know of any places that sell 5-10gig drives in bulk at inexpensive prices?
 
I could only find 10gig ones for around $25 bucks, but eBay seems to have a bunch. There's an auction with 8 hours left for 4x 4.5gb Seagate Barracudas for 9.99. They are used however, but someone might be selling new ones.
 
If you don't mind buying a bunch of used drives, just use ebay. You could probably get several for just a few dollars each. Shipping might kill you, though. I know I've seen several auctions with multiple hard drives, so that might be an option. How many did you want to buy? I doubt 5-10 gig hard drives are made in very large quantities, if at all, anymore, so any new-in-box drives you find will probably be somewhat expensive due to the relatively small supply of them.
 
A lot of people have asked this over the years.

http://www.compgeeks.com has a good selection of drives at decent prices. In my experience they have always delivered good customer service as well as good value.
 
If SCSI is OK, you can get 9GB 7200 RPM SCSI drives from www.scsisource.com for around $26 each. These are hot-swap (80-pin) SCSI drives but they come with an 80- to 68-pin adapter.
