Search for "SCSI hard drive"
Anything with a 50 pin connector will work.

It has a 50 pin connector, so I don't see why not.

I meant "is this a *reliable* drive, or unreliable like the prodrives?"

It looks like a full-height drive. I believe your LC will accept only half-height drives. Also, it's a micropolis, which means it's (a) old, ( B) probably very noisy, and © probably very unreliable.

Hard drives:
IBM SCSI HD
Seagate Hawk 2 GB
x2 Seagate Hawk 2.1 GB
or you can buy a cheaper large 68 pin HD (which are much easier to find cheap than native 50-pin hard drives) (example) and use a converter (example) with it.
For Zip drives, this one is nice.
If you can though, try to find a Zip 100 Plus, as they are compatible with both PC parallel ports and Mac SCSI ports.

Here's one of the aforementioned Zip Plus drives with 22 Zip disks. Really good price too.
Another cheap Zip Plus with 17 Zip disks.
100 Zip disks

The power supply in the LC III might be too tiny to support such a high-capacity drive.
And that threw me off when you deleted your post.

The power supply in the LC III might be too tiny to support such a high-capacity drive. I've been running a 9.1 GB 50-pin SCSI Seagate in my LC 475 for quite a while now, and it's been fine.

#1 won't work, because I think you can't run an Ultra-320 drive on the LC's PSU. (power constraints, etc.)
#2 is too big to fit.
