Each 4 drives? Each drive? I see these drives at $498 US list. Even
at 4 x and assuming a unfavorable currency conversion I can't come to
$2996.

Well, a Dollar is less than a Swiss Franc. Of course that doesn't
reflect in the prices. Stuff is usually a lot more expensive here than
in the US.

The part number is 3676. Price is 2996 List per Unit. So, for four
units, you're already at 12k. Just for for lousy disk drives.

Although I can't come to 4x 70GB 15kRPM 2.5" SAS Drives (890 CHF each)
either.

Those are System x Drives. IBM Part # 43X0837. Current List Price is 556 CHF.

They're 2.5" though - not 3.5". The 2.5" drives are faster and usually
more reliable than the older and clunkier 3.5" drives.

There's also a 15kRPM 3.5" SAS 73GB Drive for System x. IBM Part #
40K1043. Current List Price is 415 CHF.
