Silver lining to crashing economy

Some prices are in free fall, especially for commodity goods like hard drives.

A while ago I wrote about an external 1 terabyte drive for $150, and some of you expressed interest.

Yesterday, I got a flier for an internal 1.5TB drive for the same price.

The same flier lists a 1TB internal drive for $110.

I don't want this blog to turn into a shopping service, but prices and capacities like these are extraordinary; and these large drives were a recent topic here, so I though it'd be worth mentioning.

The economy is going to suck for a while, but it does mean there will be bargains to be had; at least a small consolation.

  1. About a month ago, I found a 1tb drive from a big name computer manufacturer for $109 and snapped it up. It's now my C:/ drive replacing a 140gig drive.
