thailand actually but yes the companies were from taiwan.

no sales? damn you're defeatist. flood waters still haven't receded so the full damage has yet to be assessed aka expect the prices to stay at this level for a while. better step up your sales game or you might as well go have a crywank.

happy monday <3

Yeah, and it may take a long time before the prices get back to normal. Probably more than just a few months.
So silly of the manufacturers to have pretty much everything in one place and no serious backup plans.

They will still sell loads of them anyway, and the prices are sky rocketting on ebay too as you can imagine.

If only they could lower the SSD prices now :/

God damn those little brown/yellow people for being flooded and killed so you have to pay more to archive your pirated downloads!

Why not add up how much it would cost you to purchase the stuff you have on there, then use that as a basis of comparison.

All of a sudden you'll feel like you'tre getting a good deal.

Yet anyone with any kind of standing in the real world would agree with me entirely and disagree with you.

Good job we're on the armpit of the internet then!

Anyone with even a hint of logic would disagree with your second statement, so I'm sticking with my original comment.

Of course you are, you're not someone of real world social standing.

you're making posts seemingly bitter that becuase of the floods and people dying you're having to pay a few dollars more for your shit.

Of which you would not even require that space for if you were not filling it up with stuff you've no doubt pirated.

Real world social standing? So you neither.

I was just stating the facts.. and the effect it's had on business. The fact I personally would have to pay more doesn't bother me. I have 2 x 500gb which is plenty and I'm not looking to purchase any HDs for myself currently. What I put on those HD's doesn't make any difference to your "argument".

But you were only stating the facts because you had a problem with them due to a lack of perspective.

I'm sure my boss said Thailand originally, then he mentioned Taiwan in another email, so I'm confused :S

It's Thailand for the manufacturing plants but the offices are in Taiwan or something.

Not to be coy or anything, but, is it out of the question to use WD Caviar Greens for example? I mean, their pricing is definately affordable, even if the price has increased the last 2 weeks.
