Hey there,

We're starting to see some incredible price increases from all major hard drive manufacturers due to the massive floods in Taiwan.

Rumors of price increases started about a month ago and now we're seeing the staggering impact this natural disaster has had on hard drive factories. According to our suppliers, expect prices to continue to be high through Q2 of 2012. Yikes!  We're working to keep our drive upgrade prices as low as possible during this temporary price hike.
