Shortage of WD Hard Drives
Dear Forum Members I don't know what it's like in the US but here in the UK, and by extension the EU as well, there seem to be a shortage of WD hard drives. In my own particular case I've found t...
And this has to do with NETGEAR routers how?
I tried to delete and replace that sub-topic but could not, so don't blame me for that blame the way the forum software works.
Also, nothing to do with anything - I'm enjoying the "Born To Do It" album/CD by Craig David. Great Stuff.
I wonder if has anything to do with the disk size. The smaller capacity disks aren't in as much demand anymore, so they probably make far fewer of them. It may be time to get those 12TB disks that you always wanted, and upgrade! đ
You know Laserbait,
I'm inclined to disagree with your statement "The smaller capacity disks aren't in as much demand anymore" simply because as the prices for sub-6TB disks fall the more uses they will be put to, i.e devices other than computers that require storage space.
Plus, the SOHO market is also likely to snap up low cost high quality HDs, so I believe, but can't prove, that it's just that supply momentarily cannot keep up with demand.
Besides, 12TB HDs are aimed at the professional market, with corresponding professional-type prices, and as such unlikely to be affordable for the SOHO marketplace.
Still, I could be wrong in my assumptions and therefore open to a convincing argument.
