Cyberstyle Posted November 14, 2011 Share Posted November 14, 2011 Just read an interesting article released by Dell about the Floods in Thailand affecting the world supply of HDD's to many major manufacturers. Around 40% of the worlds HDD's are made in Thailand and due to the floods they are already down about 51 million units in the current quater and around 20% of world PC sales from all manufacturers will have to be dropped in the new year. They said expect to start seeing shortages in several weeks and major shortages are expected in the new year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Craig Ramsay Posted November 18, 2011 Share Posted November 18, 2011 Yeah, I got a bit of a shock when I was pricing up new drives for a server yesterday. Ip pretty sure prices have gone up around 40% from a few weeks ago! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
