3Ware cards are so cheap

I wouldn't call them "cheap". At least here in Germany the "cheapest" 3Ware ATA I can find is an Escalade 7006 at EUR 114,--. That price is ok, but not "cheap" in my eyes. The cheapest SATA I can find is well over EUR 300,--. So the controller alone costs more than the 4 disks I can attach to it. How much do you pay in the US for 3Ware?

For the 8006-2LP I pay around $130 US. The 9550sx-4LP just cost me $335.45 and the 9550sx-8LP was $462.
