Thailand floods

Post by Andy Horn »

I guess most folk on here must have heard about the terrible flooding in Thailand.

This has a serious impact on HDD supplies as Thailand is the second largest manufacturer of HDD's.

If you are thinking of building or even upgrading your present server then expect huge price increase, I bought a 2TB Samsung back in the summer for £57 all in, now the same drive is around the £130 mark plus shipping.
