nope - you can buy a PC with HDD - I remember when I paid 3k for a 120GB HDD ;-)

I also had plan for buying a 2TB HDD but for the price hike plan delayed ;-)

But its a good time to get rid of the junks in our HDDs.

HDD price hike turned our attention towards more efficient use of precious HDD space ;-)

But not for long...
I wonder what will be the amount of profit of those shops who stockpiled lots of HDDs. :))

As per my information, it is not the right time to go for a high end peripherals. Although there is a chance of getting CPU + Mobo at a lesser price compared to the current market price, in some shops having old stock (got i3 2100 + Asus H61 MLX @ 9K in BBSR, where the market price is 9.6K), getting HDD at a cheap price point is nearly impossible.
As per the dealers in BBSR and Kolkata, this condition will sustain for another 2 to 3 months. So better to postpone purchases for this time frame.

d6bmg · Oct 31, 2011

May be it will sound like dumb, but what is the full name of BBSR?? :unsure:

Skud · Oct 31, 2011

Bhubaneswar, Orissa's capital.

d6bmg · Oct 31, 2011

^^

never heard of such acronym for Bhubaneswar.

Nice little addition to my knowledge.

rajatGod512 · Oct 31, 2011

nice suggestion but most of the online links are saying the HDD prices will remain high for upcoming 6-12 months but the prices should come down once HDD manufacturing units dry out in Thailand and that should not take 6-12 months - HDD prices are alone increasing the config budget by 2-3k so it would be better if HDD prices come down as early as possible ;-)

Talking about HDDs, anybody wants this HDD?
