Re: Inflated prices...
Consumer hard disk drives have rarely been so expensive and surely not in the last 15 years or so.
I guess you're new to this IT thing aren't you? Speak to those of us who remember 10 and 20MB disks. I remember my first 32MB RLL drive. I also remember spending £500 on a second hand 500MB SCSI disk (yes, these are all MB not GB).
Disks now expensive? Get off my lawn!
