Similar IBM disk UltraStar 2XP 4,5GB costs 9500.- EEK and same disk 9,1GB variant costs 18500.- EEK. Well, I don't need price comparison, but suggestions how to deal with ncr875 controllers and Quantum ultrawide drives, because I see serious problems arising in the front of me. Seems like reselling this problematic controller is the easy way to solve that.
