3TB for £100

finally some reasonable prices for the HDDs which probably could be like this few months back but they probably just wanted to milk some more money

seems to be just Aria though. I am still finding it cheaper in most retailers to buy an external hdd and remove it from the cage rather than buy a HDD on its own. Its just stupid lol

Yeah that is an awesome price for the drive considering I paid £104 for my 2TB WD Caviar Black about 9 months ago.

Doesn't suprise me at all.

The UK, atleast, philosophy has always been "get as much cash off the punters as you think they'll pay".

Reference fuel prices. They go up massively with the markets, and go down slowly in comparison, if ever.

yeah the flood only affected most of europe and asia(not sure about africa but would presume so) while its too expensive for usa to export them all the way from europe so they make their own.

most people i know buy a whole lot of new drives from us and import them to europe making a great deal from that for them and they resell most aswell for high uk prices

I'd like to correct my statement. It wasn't always like it in the UK.
