Yes. The hardware is fine. These aren't new drives. They were given to
me by a freidn of mine who was like "Here, thre's some old ultrawide 
drives, have a blast."

Well.... they're ultra, but not wide. After Nate pointed this out to me

On an unrelated note, if I feel much worse tomorrow I'm not going 
anywhere. Light is starting to cause pain.
