This isn't unusual. Commercial mission-critical parts often go for huge markups. If the maintenance spec for a given piece of equipment says "this is the drive that you need", then the sky's the limit. Consider that calling in a 3rd party service outfit to install the drive won't be cheap either. In a hobbyist/surplus market, the drive might bring $30 on a normal day. --Chuck
