Don't know if any of you have been following this but the flooding in Thailand has shutdown manufacturing of a significant part of the HDD industry. I'm seeing price spikes on HDD's and indications are it's going to get worse. Street talk is that it may be May or June before Western Digital recovers from the losses due to flooding:<BR>

Prices in some cases have doubled already. If you need drives you better grab them before they're either gone or too expensive to purchase...<BR>
