Here's some info, directly from a flyer they sent me.

		20 meg = $659.95	(489.95)
		40 meg = $879.95	(629.95)
		65 meg = $949.95	(739.95)
	       150 meg = ???????	(???.??)

This package contains the drive, SCSI controller, and case.  The 
prices in (parentheses) are WITHOUT controller and case.

Average access times for the drives are 65ms, 40ms and 40ms for
the 20, 40, and 65 meg drives.

They also have 10.7meg floppy drives (Konica, I suppose), 10meg
cartridges, and 70 and 150 meg tape backups.  No prices are listed.
Also cables, MIDI cables, switch boxes, and external floppy drives
($159.95 single drive, $329.95 DUAL drive, $144.95 internal floppy
for Amiga 2000).

I have no connection whatsoever with this company.  (Heck, I own
a C.Ltd. hard drive :-)).  I don't know if their products are
great or lousy.  Be a smart buyer!
