[ale] HDD prices to spike - flooding in Thailand

[Rich Faulkner]

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:

Thailand Floods to Significantly Impact HDD Industry

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...
