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.

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.

"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

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. Posted via RS Mobile | |

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