I was quoted $18K for a 3.7 TB Dell NVMe disk the other day. I'm gonna guess these drives are literally a quarter million each

$200/TB is reasonable. $300 if it is VERY fast. That is just robbery.

You're getting ripped off. NVMe SSDs are expensive, but not THAT expensive. A 4Tb drive should be around $1k even with some "enterprise" markup.

surely you don't actually think that's realistic pricing?

What is "realistic" in this context?

It is very real, that is the price they quote. You can buy it through Dell at that price.

as in that it reflects market prices in any way. I feel like anybody who works in this field knows that Dell etc. rip off naive customers this way and you can either negotiate it back to reality or just buy 1 small drive and order your own separately

Various Dell prices from the US website:

  3.84TB SSD SAS ISE, Read Intensive, up to 24Gbps 512e 2.5in with 3.5in HYB CARR, AG Drive 
  Dell Price $8,825.13 /ea.

  3.84TB SSD SATA Read Intensive 6Gbps 512e 2.5in Hot-plug AG Drive,3.5in HYB CARR, 1 DWPD 
  Dell Price $7,893.91 /ea.

  3.2TB Enterprise NVMe Mixed Use AG Drive U.2 with carrier 
  Dell Price $6,596.39 /ea.

I don't see a 'write intensive' option (I only looked around for a few minutes), but I can imagine them being 2-4x those prices.
