Seriously? £170 for a 1 TB Hard drive?

Check the thread about the price increase

Not just OCUK tho.

Threads like this make me feel like I have superior buying skillz.

Bought a 2TB Caviar Black for £116 back in the day which looked extortionate at the time because 2TB Samsungs were £54 each.

Yeah I read that thread about price increases but that's taking the P a little. Good job I got a new external HD for backup before these increases hit. 170...wow

Check out consumer retail outlets.

They haven't bumped their prices up. I seen external 1TB hard drives for £50 in a mass-owned commercial retailer the other day, the prices ain't changed.

What's to gloat about?

I have over a dozen HDD's that I bought for less than half the price they are now.

It doesn't give me superior buying skills or anything to gloat about.

It was just the price that they were at the time.

Check out the purple shirt people, et al.

They haven't bumped their prices up. I seen external 1TB hard drives for £50 in Comet the other day, the prices ain't changed.

brb, renting a truck, getting a mahoosive loan and heading to the competitors

The fact that you take such comments on "skillz" spelt exactly like that seriously and I don't.

Its mad pricing, Im so glad I got my 2TB HD for £70 not long ago.

Another e-seller has Samsung F3 1TB going for over £200!

Its funny to gloat that you got stuff for so much less.

Its crazy alright, and buy the sounds of it its not gonna get better for a few months.
I know some of you guys are heavy users but I think instead of panicking we're better off waiting, just delete some of that pr0n you don't need.

I just thought you were bad at spelling or were 14 years old.

Can I rent some space from you?

 

[pumaz]

I've just had a 1TB Samsung F3 die on me but no way am I buying a replace or for that matter any extra hard drive storage until prices settle back down!

I'm in the process of re-jigging all my storage drives to last me at least another 6 months

 

[Predicament]

Stulid: I've got competitive rent prices!

amazon 2tb seagate just under £80 - get it now or your be waiting at least 5 months for anything cheaper.
