:: Asta ::Anyone know what a reasonable price on an LTO-5 tape drive (just the drive is), and whether a drive like this one, for example, can have the more, uh... HP specific parts shucked off to just have what would fit into a standard 5.25 inch slot with a SAS connector?

I'm not specifically looking at this one, precisely, but I'm not willing to fork over 100 bucks just to find that there's no way for me to hook it up. I'd take LTO-5 or above; that's the first generation, to my understanding, that has an actual file system, which would make my life a lot easier.
Boosts appreciated!
