Two months ago when I was pricing out hard drives, I had found a Western Digital Caviar Green 2TB drive for about $70 bucks. I was thinking of buying two of them. But I thought with Christmas on the horizon, it would be a good thing to ask for as a gift.
I recently went to see how the prices were going into Black Friday. Much to my surprise, the same drive is currently running $250 on Newegg! More than 3 times what it was two months ago. I couldn't believe it.
At first, I thought it was an artificial price increase to give an appearance of a sale during the holiday season. However, a friend of mine pointed me to this article:
Awesome. Now I have to wait 6-12 months. Maybe Christmas next year.
