Of course they are making profit, but I?m sure it?s not nearly that high and nor are these drives easy to produce. If it were that easy to do, why haven?t we seen more (and cheaper) flash hard drives at that size for PC's with a Sata interface? Flash drives with such a interface would completely kick the ass out of standard magnetic hard drives, and especially since flash drives have no moving parts they would be much less prone to drive failure (albeit their ?life? may be cut down significantly because of constant use).
