Wondering why hard drive prices seem to have skyrocketed over the past couple of weeks?
Major flooding in Thailand, where several hard drive manufacturing plants are located, has slowed production to a halt and is causing major supply chain problems worldwide.
Hard drive prices have nearly doubled in recent days, and prices may continue to rise as supply shrinks. Some estimate that this problem is likely to continue through the end of the year.
Our hearts go out to those who have been affected by this natural disaster. Please consider donating to a charitable organization that is helping provide aid to the hundreds of thousands who have been forced out of their homes.
