At Fry’s:
Notice to Customers: Due to the flooding in Thailand and the foreseen shortages on hard drives, Fry’s Electronics is limiting hard drive sales to a quantity of one per customer at this time. Please contact a Frys.com Customer Service representative at service@cs.frys.com or 1-408-350-1484 if you have questions in regards to the limits placed.
A 3TB external WD HD was on sale 2 weeks ago at $99; today it’s $229, and as noted, you can get only one. Bad time to be building a lot of systems.
Yikes! I’m definitely not buying any hard drives soon. Heck of a price increase.
