Hard drives prices are set to increase for the next few months

Flooding in Asia is going to cause an increase in the price of hard drives:

I had a quick check round some retailers and 1TB drives are now between £50 to £60 and 2TB drives are now up to around £65 to £80.

good thing i have plenty of spares to last me through :)
