Hard drive prices seem to be flattening out...
I have been tracking hard drive prices and the cost per gig for some time. It seems that they have bottomed out a bit. Or at least flattened. Since the middle of last year they have been in the 50-60 cents per gig range. With specials and promotions. There was a new low this month with a 200gig Maxtor ATA 7000rpm drive at Frys for $99.99, making it right at 50 cents per gig. But the same drive in the larger size, 250gig was $159.99, a more healthy 62 cents per gig. So for the newest, largest, you still pay more. Looks like we are in a holding pattern for awhile. As a consumer I am waiting for the next inflection point to drive prices down. As a shareholder of Segate, I am happy prices have stablized. Ah, choices... Here is the full graph
