Is it me or is it the last weekend of the summer. I thought back in January HD manufacturers said the prices will be back down! :banghead: not sure about everyone else but i need Lots of Space and i hate to pay for something $50 to $100 more than i paid 2 years ago. What Gives? :dunno |

Don't know about over there but I've just got an offer for a 3TB HD for £110($175) seems like a good deal to me ;) http://www.ebuyer.com/weekend-deals?utm_source=b2c_01-09-2012&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=b2c_weekend |

$99 for 3TB would have been an unusually good sale even prior to the Thailand flooding. Typical sale prices for 3TB around this time last year were $115-135. I'm regularly seeing 3TB for $130-150 now, so we're pretty close to where we were, though Seagate slashed their warranty from 5 years to 1 year. Western Digital is still at 3 years, and I think the Hitachi branded drives still have 3 year warranties on most of them. $175 for 3TB is a typical non-promotional price in the USA, but it wouldn't be a good sale. I know UK prices tend to be a bit higher than US, though. |

I'm still waiting for them to get back to where they were but something tells me the may never get back down to last years prices. I have 24TBs in my video server and still have 6 empty bays and some 1TB drives to replace with 2TB drives, so I am hoping they go back down at least for a little while. Looks like my arcade will top out at around 6-8TB in total storage. So by the time I have everything I need I'll be around 40TB... and probably need to start upgrading lol. |
