Anyone take a look at hard drives lately? Ever since that flood in Taiwan they have been talking about prices going up due to factorys being damaged, apple and dell have concerns as thats where their drives come from. PC prices are expected to climb a bit in the next month or so.

I bought a ton of Samsung 7200RPM 320GB Laptop HDD drives 2 weeks ago for around 48 Bucks a piece, those drives have doubled and are now 100 a piece.

I just bought a 7200 320gb WD and put it in my Ps3 last week. Was ~50 but had a $20 dollar rebate. /CoolstoryReD
