Supply and demand, they are quickly running out of their supplies so they are jacking up the price for whats left. Economics/Greed 101

They're asking $159 for a 750GB Caviar Black and $229 for a 1TB Black. Looks like the spare 750GB I have on the bench is worth double what I paid for it.

Yup was discussing the increase in irc, I have a 500 with bad sectors, looked at prices for replacement and was WFT.
Just did a shuffle and moved the drive to temp tv storage till prices come back to earth.

These prices are killing me. I was seriously just starting to do a major storage overhaul just before the prices jumped. Now I can't afford to do it.
