HDD Prices Rise from Thailand Flooding (http://forums.dlink.com/index.php?topic=42588.0) :(
-
its a bit old news.
but i managed to buy 2x2tb WD ears for 160 euro's a month ago ;)

The event is a bit old (a couple of months now), but the repercussions have only started to hit the consumer market hard in the past couple of weeks.
-
prices are stabilizing already.
i've seen the price for my HD go from 80 euro to 280 euro.
now its stable at 150 euro.
still a lot but i think prices will decline slowly next time, but wonder when they are at the prices from a couple months ago.
edit:
the external hd's are in the netherlands somehow still cheap.
many people buy external disks and break open the box :)
-
There was an initial price surge as a reaction to the market and opportunistic vendors trying to price gouge, but yes HDD retail prices have stabilized, but not at the plateau that merits purchase. I think it will be another several months before we see the prices decline and start to settle in.
