    I think someone should examine how justified current prices are. You know, just to make sure HDD producers aren't simply riding the wave a bit longer to wring out higher profit margins for their products.

    2tb 54euro before the floods
    2tb 92euro right now

    itll take a couple more months to have prices drop back to what they were preflood

    Prices will be low enough in order for manufacturers to not having overstocked warehouses when production is back to full brunt as it was pre-flood.

    I hope they keep dropping, starting to run out of space here and a new 2 or 3TB hdd is in order.
