Hardware price list/spec sheet

^^ Where, link please if you have. Raising prices by 50% is too much serious, and none of us can ignore that.

Check here: HDD Prices are Increasing Rapidly; 50% in One Week

 

[d6bmg]

No, No, I know that. I thought that price of every other component will increase by 50%.
Am I missing something?

Thanks monkey for the link. This is particularly for the HDDs. Other components have been hit by the dollar price, but not up to the level of 50%, 10% on an average.

@ d6bmg - No dude not every other components only HDDs. Thats what he was trying to say!!

 

[d6bmg]

@Skud: thanks for the clarification mate.

 

[Skud]

You are welcome mate.

Its $65.

at the time of my posting it was $55 - but as the price has hiked again it's around ~3.2k now - $10 price hike in 10 hours

No chance of it getting sorted by q1 2012. As per reports not earlier than end of q4 2012 or even 2013.

that's just too much - where the HDD prices will reach in upcoming months - if it's increasing in this pace it will be more than 50% for sure.

An HDD price rise is just what SSDs need to shine

 

[Skud]

If SSD price really comes down, that would be pretty good news.

As far as what I've understood, only Western Digital has a manufacturing complex there. I guess Seagate must have ditched it after that infamous 7200.11 rpm days. They were supposed to release some newer ones (which I have reviewed and kept it in draft) but because of this, the newer drives launch is taking a back seat- a very LONG one.

@Skud: SSD prices wont come down. But the cost factor will make the SSDs more appealing.

^^As on discussion comparing HDD's to SSD...i don't think so
SSD will be costly and remain as extreme gamer said.
for ex. a 60gb ssd cost 4K+ and a 2tb hdd costs give or take 4k+.
you can see the difference....it will always be price on storage rather than price on speed especially in India.
For enthusiast building 80k+ config...he can think on ssd but for budget and around 60K pcs hdd is way to go atleast for 1~2 years.

Corsair's Force 3 and GT series SSDs have issues. Don't buy those until the problem is fixed.

Stick to OCZ, OWC, Kingston for SSDs.

Even an enthusiast has to choose a HDD. A 120GB SSD is more than enough to store multi-OS and important applications. And then comes 100 of gbs of music, tbs of movies, gbs of application where would one store them? Definitely on a HDD.

Lol an enthusiast chooses an SSD for reducing load times, faster boots and lower seek times.

An HDD is for unimportant stuff and for backups.

I am an enthusiast. According to you I shouldnt have bought two 120GB SSDs

Why do you think I mentioned storing OS and important applications on a SSD? Ofc I meant about speed, load times, etc. I didn't find it necessary to mention why people would store OS on a SSD, as it is a common fact that they need speed and performance. SSD's were meant to be fast, everybody knows that. :/

Not necessarily for some music is life, so do you consider that unimportant?

I didn't said you shouldn't buy a SSD, a 120GB is sufficient and if you need more than buy more. But if one needs space it would be stupidity to opt for a SSD.

 

[Extreme Gamer]

Lol by unimportant I meant non-critical files. Your PC or software will run without a music file, but that music file cannot be the bootloader can it? Unless you've coded a data structure that combines the two jk

Also, the bigger SSDs have faster read/write performance. The SSD performance also goes down as you start filling it up.

 

[max_snyper]

Stop fighting u two!!!!
It was comparison between hdd & ssd how they could be economical!!!
HDD wins hands down coz of cheapest price between the two....
that's the fact.
But due to shortage prices are insanely rising....!

 

[skeletor]

lol...everyone of you are saying the same thing. What's the argument about?
