They have slowly started to but from doing work importing for a few computer companies no time soon.
Nothing suprises me anymore, one month everything seems really cheap the next month they are double

This was due to the floods in Thailand last year

The prices are much lower than a couple of months ago if you look around.
You can look as hard as you like, the prices are still silly. The manufacturers are still raking in while people are willing to pay.
It's still around £100 for a 2tb drive, which is almost double what they were. Things are supposed to progress, but they aren't. My face is sad.

Prices have dropped tremendously since the hike.
For a while, it was a struggle to source a 1TB hard drive for less than £120!

The last hard drive I bought was a 2TB Samsung in January 2011 for £53. Read it and weep.
Personally I won't buy another until they reach these kind of levels, and at the rate SSDs are dropping I probably won't need to buy a mechanical drive again.

Floods in Thailand gave manufacturers an excuse to raise prices, despite the fact that it only costs them something tiny like £2.50 per HDD or something, and they aren't in a hurry to lower the prices

Not sure on that but the warranty slashing is definetly not on.
