    Prices on HDDs have sky-rocketed because of some floods in Thailand as far as I heard.
    Was wondering if anyone has any special offers to beat the market?

    Yeah it's frustrating that they haven't come down in price again yet :-(

    I bought this one last week http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B004C0WVP6/ref=oh_o00_s00_i01_details

    not dispatched yet so can't comment on it. Its only 5,900 rpm which may be a bit slow if ur using it for an internal... I'm using mine as a NAS. Not sure really how much difference this would make speed wise, depends on what you are using it for I suppose! About all the help I can offer!

    The price of HDD rocketed before Christmas due to the floods - but prices are slowly dropping again... I've seen 1Tb & 2Tb SATA's at their cheapest prices in 5 months recently... so shop around online and you'll find a reasonably priced one.

    Anyone have any knowledge about this website?
    http://www.airetechit.co.uk/e-shop/products.php?105192&livemode=1
    I've found it on Froogle co uk (a branch of Google) it shows a 1TB Seagate 5900rpm for 47 Pounds, with free shipping, the drawback being they're not in stock and they'll send it as soon as it will be. Anyone have any experience with this sort of stuff? They have a decent 4/5 user review rating rating on froogle.
