 don't have a 3803 you need to bid on one as that is the controller. I

The price seems a bit high to me...
But, it's one string of 8 drives, and you can have up to 2 controllers
per string.
And I guess, not really a "string" of drives, as each drive connects
separately to the controller for both power and data.
