I wish I had the insight to buy in advance...I have two 3s, 1 2, and 5 1 TB drives here now....but I hate to build out with anything other than 3 TB drives...

Saw that sign Friday when I went to pick up a GTX460 to replace my suspected

preparing for an extended duration shortage. I'm glad I bulked up on storage
earlier in the year - sitting around 60T now.

If you need to buy a hard drive or two, now might be a good time,
because there's probably going to be a shortage soon. The floods in
Thailand are disrupting the operations of both of the world's leading
suppliers of hard drives, Seagate Technology and Western Digital.
