[Mr_Fiux]

significantly or a fuckload?

[Tx Redneck]

The latter would be apropos. A 1TB Spinpoint F3 could be purchased for $49 6 or so weeks ago.

this doesn't affect just drives, but a ton more shit.
oem pc's as well.

[Josh.0]

yea its pretty crazy, prices went up almost double about a month ago because of this.

[71chevellejohn]

I saw the price jump but never heard any reasoning until now.

Wow I never even noticed it.

What's funny is I was speccing out a Mac Mini earlier and they wanted $150 for the 1tb 7200 drive upgrade.

I chalked it up to Apple ripping people off, but guess not, this is crazy.
