The Greasweazel is perhaps the cheapest, using a $3 ($1.30 or so from Aliexpress) STM32F103 "Blue Pill" board.
It's almost trivial doing this if you don't need the "eye candy". Basically you run a timer in capture mode, with capture triggered by an edge on the drive's "read data" line. Modern MCUs don't even break a sweat doing this. It's nice seeing the proliferation after many years of harping on the subject... --Chuck
