We Could Run Out of Hard Drives Soon, Says Analyst

Better get your HHD now lol.

Or wait until prices drop again.

Get them off eBay or CL.

Well I got a 3TB Hard drive just before this so I am fine but is mostly for new builds or severs upgardes that's going to have issue. Price for hard drivers are pretty much going up everyday.

It is going to last at least a year even then price might not go down.

I have a 4TB surplus of storage. I should be set. :D

time to start digging out those 20 - 60 gb hdd's and buy some IDE to SATA2 adaptors :lol

Just archive all the media files to DVD. I find there's no point in keeping big-ass high-def files on the hard drive, since I'm never going to need immediate access to a movie.

^ no immediate access to HD porn? :considered:

It goes without saying that porn supersedes all other files.

we wont be short, someone will jump on the opportunity to make money.

highly doubt it. Other facilities will simply up production to take advantage of the situation

fuck that, keep production steady and up the prices.

Lol I fucken hate analyst when they say this shit.
Its not like were running out of gas, its hard drives..

watch out, here comes China with some quality hdds :pokerface:....

article comes out before black friday? lol

"Analysts" typically make these types of absurd statements.

that way, in the odd chance that if it actually does happen, they will point out that they were the first to say so

if it doesn't happen, which is the more likely scenario, they will blame other factors, such as "other companies increased production" or "demand decreased due to increased prices" or something else, BUT if these didn't happen, then i would be right

someone should tell Costco

Black Friday sale Seagate FreeAgent 2TB external HD $69.99 limit of 5 per customer!

Tempting.

it does not hit you as hard as an entreprise that needs quantity ordering, I see my company orders 300 pc every months to replace old pcs. We do not reuse old HDDs as they contain customer info, all go to the shredders.

A secure wipe would be the same as "shredding" them, except you don't waste 300 hard drives every month

best buy has 3TB for 99.99 on black friday

Revised DOD standards require HDD's to be physically destroyed as the final process.

one of my clients just ordered 4 3TB hard drive because they need it for backup and archiving data... looked at the price of the drive... $380 for 1 drive

i was just at portland and a 3tb drive was 90 bux...

^ where did u get it?
