    Supply and Demand

    Anybody any news on when Thailand will be back in full production of HDs. I need some large storage SOON and don't like the idea of paying 3 * $$$ compared to 1 year ago.

    Look into the used market? :/

    Its gonna be awhile longer, probably towards Q3 or Q4 before it returns to pre-flood price range. We are down to $99 1TB already surprisingly.

    Well the best GB/$ here in Shanghai are the 500GB drives, most likely as these are made/assembled in China. Anything over the 500GB is limited, a WD 1TB 1002FAEX is $165 USD on newegg.china.

    Yeah, the main issue from the flood was the part suppliers got taken out. Western Digital and Seagate were ready to go shortly after the water retreated but they ran out of parts...
