Sometimes I come home and just find stuff on my porch. That's how I got the ultra-wides and scsi controllers. I tested all of them and took the magnets out of some of the bad ones. Those are the strongest magnets I've ever seen. The one drive and controller I used in a Linux machine I setup for the place where I do volunteer work. The machine is an early p-4 with a minimal amount of RAM, but with the "ultra-wide" drive performs pretty well.
