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.
