yeah i already have a couple of SSD's, but im getting to the stage where i need a) another SSD in my gaming rig b) another hard drive period as im running out of spaceplus my server could benifit from some larger drives instead of multiple smaller ones.
Believe me I feel your pain. My 2 large external storage devices are nearing full and once I cap them off I will likely have to start playing favorites with what I want to keep. Fortunately I use steam so I can save myself about 500 gigs just deleting all the steam games I don't play anymore... can always re-dl them later.
Here's a couple of links:
Really? Why would they do that? e-Books seem so handy....... to edit. No need to
tear out a few pages, then reprint and distribute them by the thousands.
I'll have to have a look whether Orwell also foresaw that trick. He probably did.

Thanks for the links. Interesting but no comments; we are off topic as is.
Maybe this: all Big Brothers trip over their own big feet sooner or later.
I just noticed some WD caviar black 6 Gb/s drives becoming available again. The prices seem to be dropping from triple what I paid last time I bought one, to double. I hope it's an omen that the gouging is starting to disintegrate.Believe me I feel your pain.

yeah I'm seeing 500gigs for about what I paid for my last 1tb.
It's easing down a little bit. I think in part the massive price hike was the industry taking advantage of a situation through the holidays.
Last 1TB Seagate (? 6months ago) I paid AUD$55. The cheapest price that I can find locally now is AUD$99.
AUD$1 = US$1.03
It may be both manufacturer and retailer keeping prices high.
hi all :)
its not so bad here in the united kingdom i bought a seagate expansion 1TB last week for a client for £50 but i must say the internal discs seem to be increasing a little £58.36 oct 2010 £78.12 - £99.98 jan 2012
I'm glad you guys are buying up all the old and referb drives. I was just looking at a WD-Black 1TB drive last night. I refuse to pay $240 for a drive that was selling six months ago for $90 or less. The "Egg" even has the gall to post: Was $249.99.Why don't they indicate what it really was--Was $89.99.
I'll just throw on another 500GB drive I have in my stash if I need to. I'll make do with what I have before wasting money. Besides, I'm saving up for hardware that's just around the corner.
