Has anyone else noticed that hard drive sellers are running out of stock on many HD models?
tigerdirect amazon newegg etc.

Yup.
Prices are climbing too.
Last time I just purchased a 500gb SSD for the price of a highly rated 1tb HDD.

where are some of the places you shop online at?
yeah i noticed this happening shortly before black friday.
though i did get two wd 1tb blacks for $30 from frys electronics for black friday.

I wouldn't know, I still use a 5400rpm laptop HDD from god knows how many years ago.
A WD 1TB Blue costs the same now as it did when I bought one five--six years ago.
big data is eating the hard drive supply

They are controlling supply to hike up prices.
Also fuck WD for neutering the Blues. they either gimp the cache or lower the RPMs.
>prices never dropped back down to pre factory floods level
Fucking Bullshit

How else would they sell the Blacks? :^)
>>51793339
well SSD prices are in free fall.
so w/e this just makes my decision to migrate my data to an SSD easier.
