Hard drive prices soar due to Thai floods
Thailand, as most of us may not know, is the 2nd largest exporter of hard drives in the world.
According to Reuters, due to the floods in Thailand, hard drive prices have increased by as much as 40 percent!
Western Digital which have a factory is Thailand have close it down. Seagate, which also have a factory there is still operational have warn that they may face shortage of parts!
A 1TB drive I purchased recently here in Ireland for 44 Euro is now listed @ 80 Euro :no no:
