Google for "Firestore". Sony has a firewire-to-harddrive recorder as well,
but that is even more expensive.

Actually, I was going to suggest to the original poster that if he
wanted to get into the business himself, I would be glad to post
contact information for some OEM sources (mostly in the Far East), but
I was pressed for time and it would have been somewhat off-topic, so I
didn't.

I'm really pleased to hear that you like it. If over time it proves to
be a reliable product, then you've made a good purchase, in my
opinion.
