Hard drive prices flatten and even go up slightly

Yesterday at CompUSA, the harddrive on sale was 129.99 for a 250 gig drive. That is 52 cents per gig which is actually an increase. I see alot of hard drive guys going into the external storage business (with case) to try to keep prices up. Most smaller hard drives are actually much higher per gig cost. I wonder who buys those?
