Was hoping this was a burner as well. Then that price would be more than justifiable.

The picture is wrong. Read the link. They are releasing one that's only a reader for $345 internal or $440 external, and they're releasing an external burner for around $640, with the internal being a little cheaper (but no price given).

My guess is that's just a photo of the burner instead.
