MIGHT want? They are mandatory.
The $170 figure he is getting is likely from SamplerZone.com ($149 plus probably International shipping), and can be easily explained (see below). I should say that SCSI2SD is a GREAT invenstment, it's not like a mechanical storage device which breaks comparatively quickly. This will last and last and last, and will serve other things. Plus it's fast and will take care fo you until you die, pretty much.
BTW, the Gotek should work, but as you see it takes a lot of setup work. SCSI2SD does too, but not as much. And it is well put that it's just a floppy - just as slow and yuuch.

These drives come fully set up and ready to go, for the sampler specified and includes the external case, SCSI cable, SD card, full set of instructions - I mean GOOD ONES, not written in gobbity-gook.
The problem with just getting the board is that it ISN'T setup for what you want, and there are so many gotchas that it's well worth having it setup and not having to hassle with it.
As far as cost, you have to get a SCSI cable, likely off eBay, and that's the cable plus shipping. The SD card is about $5. And the external case is exclusive to SamplerZone, small and tidy. Otherwise it's getting a external case that doesn't fit the SCSI2SD board and you have to get a case - and it's just UGLY. When you add up all those tangible costs, it's well over $100, and then all the separate shipping costs, well... The idea behind the SamplerZone SCSI2SD's is convenience and getting the best value. Who really wants to do everything themselves, when you have to collide with the breadth of nuggets of info on the Internet?
