Hi
 If past auctions are any indication, yes. The H8 is going to
go for around $350-$500 with or without the controller card.
This rarely effects the system price.
 The drive will add at least $50 to $100 with the controller card.
Ready for plug and play.

 It is hard to believe that a H8 would be sitting around with
a controller card in it and it never had a drive connected.
I've bought two H8's and neither came with a controller card.
 These were rarely sold separately to the original user.
You bought a controller and drives. Or at least, you had some
drives you expected to connect to it when you bought the
controller. The controller is part of the drive system and
not the H8.
