So it's two controllers for eight drives, better use only four of them.

SLR = scalable linear recording. Just depends on your point of view :-)
Very robust in my experience and really cheap to buy used, getting e.
g. 100% working SLR 2 drives (525 MB) for less than $10 is feasible.

Yup. The last time I looked, I found some Seagate Travan drives that
lacked the "NS" features such as verify-while-write. Not really useful
for backup.
