So I noticed the new 1.5TB WD is being listed on Scan now. And it's a pretty good price (http://www.scan.co.uk/Products/15TB-...ATA-3Gb-s-32MB)
Once they become available, do we think the price of the 2TB drive will drop in response?
They use the same platter, the 1.5TB version just has 3 platters instead of 4. Taking the fixed cost of producing a drive into account as well as the number of platters, really the 2TB should only be about 20-25% more expensive than the 1.5TB. This makes it around £180 instead of the current £250.
Sounds reasonable? thoughts on the subject?
