Well, crap. I got rid of my 2 9766’s and all the packs that I had for them a couple of years ago for nothing what this guy is asking for his. ;-) I probably still have a pile of heads for them (but they’d probably go to the guy who purchased the drives/packs from me).
What are folks using these types of drivers for? Media content recovery or just using them as intended?
