Has anybody else taken notice of this?  A 330MB hard disk for only $2000!

I haven't seen anything sold for the Mac come even close to this!  In
the ads that I've seen, the cheapest 3rd party hard disks holding close
to 330MB cost at least twice as much!

Just more price gouging on the Mac front, as usual?
