Internal hard drive prices rising (and when they might fall)
This might be a little bit of old news at this point.
Due to tragic flooding in Thailand, prices for hard drives (and especially internal hard drives) have escalated through the roof. They're basically at - I'd say - 2006 levels as far as dollars per GB goes. I'm putting together a new build for my wife at the moment, so - this news sucks, to say the least. I'm equipping her computer with a SSD that I already bought for her routine programs and basic operation (such as Photoshop and Illustrator) - however, she needs a massive storage drive to go along with this. As far as an ETA on when the prices will normalize again, I've heard anything from 2 months to 2 years. It really won't be until the flooding lets up until anyone can really accurately speculate when prices will change. My thoughts are with the people of Thailand - good luck and I look forward to your future production!
